Abstract

This paper presents a technical summary of certain hydrologic and hydrographic factors affecting the continued prosperity of the agricultural activities in the upper or southern portion of the San Joaquin Valley in California, with analyses of service water‐requirements and demands upon imported water‐supplies from storage on the San Joaquin River.The data presented herein are from reports of the Division of Water Resources of the State Department of Public Works, Edward Hyatt, State Engineer, and from reports and observations of various public and private agencies and individuals which have collaborated with that Division in the extensive investigations covering the water‐resources of the San Joaquin Valley. Particular reference is made to Bulletin No. 29, San Joaquin River Basin, 1931, a publication of the Division of Water Resources. Since the date of that Bulletin continued field‐investigations and analyses by the Division have been the direct means of pointing out the engineering and economic feasibility of importing regulated water‐supplies.
