United States, that the need of more specific knowledge pertaining to this great science seemed the imperative demand of the hour, and it is on this hypothesis that the author has essayed to indite this volume. In treating upon so wide and diversified a subject as universal irrigation, I have endeavored throughout to make all points touched upon as explicit and comprehensive as possible, avoiding all useless verbiage, and handling the subject as understandingly as lay within my power of diction. The text of the work is based largely upon personal experience, although it is but fair to add that some of the deductions contained in these pages, especially as to those in which the technical features are most prominent, are adapted from the observations of others. I have relied somewhat upon the valuable knowledge of hydraulic engineers and scientists, and have accepted the best authorities attainable whenever technical matters had to be considered.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
