Historical Notes Number 8. Edited by Douglas Helms, Steven E. Phillips, and Paul F. Reich, 306 pages. Since 1935, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has coordinated the cooperative effort in snow surveying and water supply forecasting in the Western States, known for many years as the Federal-State Cooperative Snow Surveys. Water users in the West rely on this data. In 1939, the Soil Conservation Service, predecessor to the NRCS, assumed responsibility for the cooperative snow survey from the Bureau of Agricultural Engineering. The seven oral history interviews and three articles in this volume recount significant historical developments in this program since its establishment through the full implementation of the automated SNOTEL system.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of soil conservation in America, from its humble beginnings in the 18th century to the establishment of the Soil Conservation Service in the 1930s. The author traces the evolution of soil conservation practices, from early efforts to control erosion through terracing and contour farming to the development of more comprehensive approaches that included land-use planning and watershed management. The book also examines the role of government in promoting soil conservation, from the early demonstration projects of the Soil Erosion Service to the establishment of the Conservation Reserve Program in the 1980s. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including government documents, scientific studies, and personal accounts, the author provides a comprehensive and engaging account of the history of soil conservation in America.
