It is based on an acquaintance with a large number of irrigation systems, located in most of the States of the western part of the United States and in western Canada, Obtained through many Opportunities for examination of these projects and through connection with a number of them. The writer has not confined himself to his own experience and observations, but has discussed the principles of irrigation engineering presented in this work with a number of successful engineers, who have had much experience in the construction and Operation of irrigation systems. He has also availed himself not only of contemporary literature pertaining to American Irrigation engineering, but has consulted a large collection of foreign publications, mostly from India, Egypt, Spain and France. While there is still considerable difference of Opinion among engineers regarding some of the principles of design of irrigation works, it is believed that the Opinions and principles presented are in accordance with correct theory and good practice as demonstrated by careful observation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation: Its Principles and Practice as a Branch of Engineering Irrigation is a subject which covers much ground, and cannot be confined within the narrow boundaries of a single volume. But the principles on which Irrigation Engineering is based can be collected in small compass, and be illustrated by examples of actual practice to the extent that space allows. What, therefore, this work attempts to do is to set forth the guiding principles that should govern the practice of irrigation, and to furnish illustrations of their application in existing canal systems. The majority of the illustrations have been selected from the wealth of material that the irrigation experience of India and Egypt supplies, for the following reasons. In the first place, I have been personally connected with irrigation in both countries, and can therefore handle the facts, relating to them, as one having authority on the subject, and not as the scribes, Whose methods I might be imitating were I to draw my illustrations from the records of other countries. In the second place, it is India that furnishes examples of irrigation on the largest scale, and that has been the school in which all British irrigation engineers, previously to England's occupa tion of Egypt, have undergone their training. Moreover, the excellent standard work on the subject, The Irrigation Works of India, by R. B. Buckley, provides in a convenient form more than enough material for copious illustrations, and I have made much use of it, with Mr. Buckley's kind permission. But it will be found that Egypt has been the favourite source of my borrowing. There are two good (so it appears to me) reasons for this. The first is that I am intimately acquainted with Egypt as an irrigating country. The second is that Egypt is par excellence the country of irrigation, as it is wholly depen dent for its existence on its mother, the Nile, from which it has never been weaned.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Supply Engineering: The Designing, Construction, and Maintenance of Water-Supply Systems, Both City and Irrigation During the eighteen years since the first edition of this book was written there have been great advancements in water works theory and practice, especially in those branches having to do with the quality of water. Consequently, not merely a revising but an entire rewriting of the book seemed to be necessary, if it was to continue to be of any service to water works students and practitioners. In the present edition the matter treating of water purification and the quality of water has been entirely rewritten at much greater length; that describing pumping machinery also is practically new throughout; and hardly a paragraph of the original text has been used without some change calculated to bring the subject up to date. This resulted in considerably increasing the length of a work that was already too long, from some points of view; and Part II of the first two editions, dealing with Construction, has been condensed to a single chapter, and Part III, dealing with Maintenance, has been omitted altogether. Also the chapter on Hydraulics has been omitted, since those using the book are assumed to be familiar with and to possess a text book discussing the principles of this subject. Several of the chapters have been rearranged so as to present the subject matter in a somewhat more logical order.

This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practical Design of Irrigation Works This book is written with the special object of setting forth the principles governing the design of irrigation works in a detailed, as well as a general aspect, so that any engineer, even if not specially conversant with this branch of engineering science, may be enabled, by the use of proper dis crimination in the selection of models, and by due attention to the principles on which good design must be grounded, to evolve suitable plans of irrigation works. In order to effect this purpose to the best advantage, an entirely new departure has been adopted in the method of instruction pursued. This consists mainly in the production of plans of existing or projected works, combined with a systematic analysis of the salient points involved in each design. This critical examination will expose the good and the bad features, so that the reader will be enabled to exercise discrimination in what to accept and follow and what to reject. At the same time, in order to thoroughly illustrate the subject, alternative designs for the works thus reviewed, embodying the suggested improvements, are provided, wherever such appears desirable. The method of procedure thus sketched is clearly superior, from an instructive point of view, to the ordinary one of dumping down a number of record plans of various works, some of which are of quite obsolete form, without any critical remarks on their merits or demerits from the stand point of modern development. The inexperienced designer in that case is left without guide in the selection of suitable types, and consequently is unconsciously led to follow old precedents in design, to the exclusion of more modern improvements, or to the exercise of his own ingenuity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Engineering in India: Irrigation Again, the interference of the Government may render the villagers discontented, make them lazy, and take away their self-reliance. They will perhaps abandon drawing water from their wells altogether, and prefer the less laborious occupation of watching canal water ﬂow over their fields. The cattle will deteriorate, since they are no longer required to raise the water. The facilities for production will lead to over-cropping and gradually impoverish the soil. Lands near the canal will become water-logged. The general spring level of the country will be raised by percolation and malarious fevers will increase and lastly, when their wells are abandoned, their cattle gone, and the cultivator become enervated and effeminate, in the midst of an exceptionally dry season, some accident will happen to throw the whole canal out of gear for several years. The answer to all these objections is the same. Your scheme must be designed and carried out intelligently. The cultivator must not be harassed or interfered with unnecessarily. The existing wells must not be interfered with, canal water only introduced into tracts where there are no wells, or only unstable ones. Over-cropping must be discouraged by only permitting a limited supply of water. Percolation must be prevented by clay puddling, and the superﬂuous water introduced by the canal provided for by suitable drainage schemes. Accident must be guarded against by every human precaution, and by making every member of the establishment responsible for the portion of which he holds charge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation Irrigation existed in Egypt before the pyramids were erected. It has fed the millions of Asia since the creation of the world. It nurtured Rome into existence, and was practiced in America before Columbus discovered the New World, and yet the people of the United States east of the Mississippi river know but little about it - and care less. The Moors introduced irrigation into Spain, and the Spaniards imported an imperfect system of irrigation into Mexico, Texas, California, etc. The Valley of the Nile has yielded its fruitful abundance from irrigated lands for countless ages, and Cato wrote learnedly advocating its introduction into Italy; but the greatest achievement of modern times has been the improvement of the system of irrigation in the East Indies, by the British Government of India. Irrigation in the East Indies antedates all history; the Great Mogul gave it a grand impetus during the magnificence of his reign. When the British Government (after the Sepoy mutiny) took over the control of more than two hundred and fifty millions of subjects in India, the first duty of Statesmanship was to provide labor and food for the people, and this has been accomplished by the extension of a system of irrigating canals unequalled in the world. Famine in India is rendered impossible, as long as the Himalayas give their melted snows to fructify the Indian valleys. The Ganges Canal, with its branches, is three thousand five hundred miles long. Among other duties in the service of the Government of the United States, it was a pleasure, nearly twenty years ago, to investigate and report upon the system of irrigation throughout Asia; and in this service I learned much in Japan, China, India, Persia, Arabia and Egypt; and subsequently observed much on the subject in Italy and Spain. In California as early as 1850, it gratified a youthful curiosity to follow the irrigating ditches which those primitive people had made, and subsequently the grand irrigating canals in Arizona and Northern Mexico excited a livley interest in a lost and perished race, who have left little or no other evidence of their existence upon earth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the International Engineering Congress, 1915: Waterways and Irrigation The route leaves the Mississippi again about Opposite New Orleans (there are several proposed routes here, one being via the Plaquemine lock) and passes across the State of Louisiana, utilizing the numerous bayous and lakes for a great part of the distance, to Sabine River, the boundary line between Louisiana and Texas. From this point to Port Arthur, Texas, the recently constructed sabine-neches Ship Canal and the Port Arthur Ship Canal will be utilized. From Port Arthur to Galveston East Bay an artificial cut through land becomes necessary, although bayous and lakes are followed for part Of the dis tance. The line then enters Galveston Bay, passes by the City of Galveston and through West Galveston Bay and the Old galveston-brazos Canal to Brazos River; thence by a cut through land, passing through several lakes, and intersecting San Bernard River, to the head Of Matagorda Bay; thence the line passes through the Matagorda Bay and through a short ar tificial cut to Espiritu Santo Bay. From this point the route follows the natural channel through the bays Espiritu Santo, San Antonio, Mesquite, Aransas, Corpus Christi, and Laguna Madre (which all connect) to within about miles kilo meters) of the Rio Grande, where a cut Of this length through dry land becomes necessary to gain access to this river. This is the western terminus Of the Inland Waterway, as it here reaches the International Boundary between the United States and Mexico. This, in brief, is the proposed main line of the waterway. From the St. Johns River, Florida, a branch will extend down the east coast Of Florida to Key West, through the interior lagoons and bays. Tapping this main line and forming feeders will be the large number of rivers and bayous running into the Atlantic and Gulf. Chief among which are the Mississippi and its many tributaries.
