SCS Natinoal Engineering Handbook: Section 15, Irrigation, Chapter 9--Measurement of Irrigation Water

Measurement of Irrigation Water describes the various methods of measuring irrigation water that are commonly used on irrigated farms. Tables and charts giving rates of flow for various structures and measuring devices are included. It is intended for use by Soil Conservation Service engineers providing assistance to individual farms or groups of farms

SCS Natinoal Engineering Handbook: Section 15, Irrigation, Chapter 8--Irrigation Pumping Plants

Irrigation Pumping Plants describes the advantages and limitations of the different pumps used for irrigation pumping; also covers power requirements, costs, and design procedures. It is intended for use by Soil Conservation Service engineers providing assist3nce to individual farms or groups of farms

Sevier River Basin Floods 1852-1967

This chronology of Sevier River Basin floods extends from 1852 to 1967. Most common and destructive are dry mantle floods, which flow as a muddy mortar-like substance containing 40 to 55 percent water. Hundreds of tons of protective topsoil are removed from watershed lands, debris and boulders are picked up as the flow travels down steep stream channel gradients, and then the flood is debouched into communities and on to productive cropland

Price - San Rafael Rivers Unit, Utah, Planning Report / Final Environmental Impact Statement, Colorado River Water Quality Improvement Program / Colorado River Salinity Control Program

This integrated Planning Report/Final Environmental Impact Statement (PR/FEIS) presents an analysis of the planning process and the environmental impacts of the proposed Price-San Rafael Rivers Unit (Unit) of the Colorado River Water Quality Improvement Program (CRWQIP) and the Colorado River Salinity Control Program (CRSC). The document has been jointly prepared by the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) to address the full range of potential environmental impacts, in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The CRWQIP/CRSC programs provide for projects upstream of Imperial Dam (near Yuma, Arizona, on the Arizona-California border) that are necessary to maintain or reduce salinity in the Colorado River. A final environmental statement on the CRWQIP was prepared by Reclamation and SCS (May 19, 1977). This PR/FEIS will be used to meet NEPA compliance requirements and to obtain construction authorization for off-farm features. Onfarm features are authorized for construction under Public Law 93-320, as amended by public Law 98-569
