This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 1028 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers Nos. 71-77, 1902-1903 The practice of irrigation in Texas is Of considerable antiquity, especially in the western end of the State, along the Rio Grande, where the early Spanish conquerors established settlements, and their descendants, the Mexicans, have maintained possession of the soil for centuries. At San Antonio are ditches whose origin is lost in local tradition, having probably been built to carry water to the grounds surrounding the missions. It is only in comparatively recent years, however, that particular attention has been drawn to the matter, and the importance of the development Of the State through irrigation has been appreciated by the public. Already agriculture by means of an artificial supply of water is being practiced in nearly every portion of the State, the greatest increase in acreage being in the rice-growing districts in the southeastern quarter. The figures obtained at the Eleventh Census (1889) and Twelfth Census (1899) illustrate the rapid increase in acreage and the wide extent to which irrigation is now employed. For most of the land water is obtained by gravity systems of ditches that is to say, by means of channels through which the water flows from some source at a higher elevation. In many places, however, it is impos sible to bring water to the surface Of the ground in this way, and it must be lifted or pumped by some mechanical device. For this pur pose windmills are most commonly used. West of the one-hundredth meridian north of San Antonio the cattle country of Texas stretches almost unbroken for from 200 to 500 miles. To supply water for the ranches which do not border on or include a flowing stream the wind mill has become a most potent factor. In addition, a few localities, like oases, have everlasting springs that rise with surprising sudden. Ness either from the foothills or from the baked prairies. These are in nearly all cases utilized to convert the otherwise unproductive soil into crop-bearing farms. While the Old Mexican methods of irriga tion are still in use in many localities, with their consequent waste of water, they have been accompanied by few disappointments or heart burnings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Underground Waters of Coastal Plain of Texas Bramage. -the Texas Coastal Plain is traversed by many streams. The largest of these are the Neches, Trinity, Brazos, Colorado, and Nueces rivers. Of all these streams only the Brazos enters the Gulf directly, the others emptying into lagoons or bays. South of the Nueces the drainage is not completely developed and the entire area between this stream and the Rio Grande contains only two small creeks, the San Fernando and Olmos, which unite to form Capano Bay. The larger streams of the area are generally narrow and deep, with feeble currents. Near the Shore many of them expand into broad, shallow lakes entering the Gulf through shallow bays. While there are many streams in the Texas Coastal Plain, much of its. Surface is poorly drained, and in places water Stands in lakes or ponds through out the-year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation Works: Constructed by the United States Government As a modern activity of the Caucasian race, irrigation in the United States on any considerable scale seems to have had its beginning in Utah in the settlement of the Salt Lake Valley. The early settlements of California, New Mexico, and other arid States extended the practice of the early Spaniards and the Indians, and irrigation developed along with the slow settlement of these then remote regions. During the early history of irrigation farmers and groups of farmers naturally confined their efforts mainly to diverting small streams upon adjacent valleys where the slope of the country and the topography were such as to make the work easy and cheap. With the values of land then existing no expensive enter prise was practicable. Such development proceeding for nearly half a century, widely distributed over the arid region, irrigated in the aggregate a very large area of land. The farmers em ployed the cheapest class of construction and seldom counted their own time in computing costs, which are hence reported very low.
