Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sedimentation in San Carlos Reservoir, Gila River, Arizona This report summarizes the results of sedimentation surveys of San Carlos Reservoir, impounded on the Gila River by Coolidge Dam, in Gila, Pinal, and Graham Counties, Arizona. Sedimentation surveys were made in 1935 and 1937 by the Soil Conserva tion Service and in 1947 under the auspices of the Sedimentation Sub committee, Federal Interagency River Basin Committee, by the Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District, and the Soil Conservation Service. The Bureau of Reclamation and the Gila Water Commissioner provided financial assistance to the above agencies in the 1947 survey. The results of the surveys were computed and this report was prepared by the Soil Conservation Service. The volume, distribution and character of sediment in San Carlos Reser voir at the date of each survey are discussed. The engineering aspects of the several surveys are described in some detail to facilitate future resurveys. All data from earlier surveys have been recomputed on the basis of the more detailed and accurate mapping of the 1947 survey. The data included here, therefore, differ from and supersede those previously published. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
