Synopsis
Excerpt from Seepage Water of Northern Utah
Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a paper entitled Seepage Waters of Northern Utah, by Samuel Fortier, professor of irrigation engineering at the Agricultural College at Logan, Utah. The facts herein presented are based upon field work carried on mainly during the summer of 1896, and have special value in illustrating conditions which prevail to a greater or less degree throughout all irrigated lands, especially within inclosed valleys or on long, narrow drainage systems.
One of. The matters which most complicate and embarrass the adjudication of water rights and the strict enforcement of priorities of appropriation arises from the fact that a considerable volume of water available for irrigation during the critical season of the year, when the crops are maturing, comes from the. Seepage from lands higher upstream to which water has been applied earlier in the year. In some cases these lands have been irrigated in defiance of a strict construction of the law regarding the priority of right to use water, but it has been claimed that such use, instead of being a detriment to the lands below, has been a benefit, and, in 'fact, that there has been more water available in consequence of this use than could other wise be had. The determination of these matters requires careful measurement and study in each case, but the work of Professor For tier serves to indicate what may be expected under similar conditions and illustrates methods applicable to this examination.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed study of seepage water in northern Utah, a region undergoing rapid agricultural development. The author, an expert in irrigation engineering, investigates the importance of seepage water in maintaining a consistent water supply for irrigation, particularly in arid regions where water resources are scarce and valuable. The book uses meticulous measurements and observations to chart the flow of water in Cache Valley, Utah, and its tributaries. The author examines the origins of seepage water, exploring the role of precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration in influencing its availability. He then analyzes the impact of irrigation practices on the water supply, highlighting the challenge of balancing water use with the need to maintain the delicate balance of the natural water cycle. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the challenges and opportunities of sustainable water management in a region increasingly reliant on irrigation for agriculture, offering insights that remain relevant to modern water resource management challenges.
