Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book examines the development of the Cache la Poudre Valley in Colorado, specifically focusing on its transition from a sparsely populated ranching area to a thriving agricultural center. The author delves into the challenges faced by early settlers, including the limitations of the natural water supply, and the ingenuity they employed to overcome these obstacles. The book explores the innovative solutions they developed, particularly the construction of a complex reservoir system to provide water for irrigation during periods of low river flow. This approach to water management allowed farmers to diversify their crops, including the introduction of alfalfa and potatoes, and to improve soil fertility. The author describes the various reservoir systems in detail, including their design, construction, and management, highlighting the economic benefits these systems brought to the valley. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of irrigated agriculture in the American West and the creative solutions that were devised to adapt to the unique challenges of arid regions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
