Synopsis

Salinas Basin Investigation: Basic Data, 1949

A concise reference to early field work and core data from the Salinas Valley study, presented to guide readers through the basic data collected and its context within the three Bulletin publications. This edition highlights what was measured, how data was organized, and the way results were summarized for water resources planning.

The report covers how field work began in 1949 and describes the scope of the data, including well descriptions, water levels, water quality, and related logs and maps. It also notes how the research was funded and how the information was compiled into Bulletin 52, its addenda, and the related plates that depict lands irrigated in Salinas Valley.

• How the basic data on wells, water levels, and water quality are described and organized.
• The role of the three bulletins (Bulletins 52, 52A, and 52B) in presenting analyses and conclusions.
• Details about field work, timing, and cooperative funding supporting the study.
• How plates and maps illustrate the locations of wells and irrigated lands in the Salinas Valley.

Ideal for readers seeking a historical snapshot of the data-gathering process behind mid‑20th‑century water resources work in California.
