Synopsis

Excerpt from Manual of Irrigation Engineering

The need of a comprehensive treatise on irrigation has been so frequently brought to my attention during the last few years, that I have undertaken to write this book with the hope that it may help those who are engaged in the study or practice of irrigation engineering. It is chiefly the result of original investigation, the descriptions of works being made from personal observation in America, Europe, and India.

Some of the matter contained in Part I is compiled, and in its preparation I am especially indebted for information and suggestions to the valuable work on "Water Supply Engineering," by Mr. J. T. Fanning. There is added, however, much that is new, a portion of which was obtained from, the reports of Mr. F. H. Newell, Chief Hydrographer of the U. S. Geological Survey. The purpose has been to include in Part I only so much of hydraulics as is an indispensable preliminary to the remainder of the book, or is original matter. Wherever the subject has been treated by others the reader is referred to their works.

The entire book relates directly to the conditions surrounding Western irrigation practice. The examples given and the suggestions made apply immediately to Western methods, though many useful hints are borrowed from foreign experience. The classification adopted is original, I believe, and follows closely that employed in reports made by me to the Government, which seem to have met with general approval.
