Book Description
Excerpt from California Irrigation District Laws This bulletin contains in complete form only those laws relating to California irrigation district organizations which come before the state engineer or the state bond certification commission for some part of their procedure. There are other statutes providing for additional forms of organization with which neither the state engineer nor bond certification commission has any official duties. Such statutes are briefly described herein but are not included. The extent to which the different forms of irrigation district laws have been utilized in the irrigation development of the state has made it desirable to assemble such acts together with their amendments in convenient published form. The number and importance of the changes made in these acts at each session of the legislature has made it essential to revise these publications following each session. This has been done, and the bulletins of this department containing these laws for past years are listed together with other bulletins of the department on the inside back cover of this publication. There are other acts relating to the functions of the Division of Water Resources which are not contained in this bulletin. Such acts include the water commission act, and the act relating to the supervision of dams. References to separate publications of these acts, where available, are also given inside the back cover of this bulletin. The wide variation in the conditions in different areas desiring to organize for irrigation development in California has resulted in the enactment of a similarly wide variety of acts for such purposes. Such variations include those of size of the area to be organized, extent and character of the purposes to be accomplished, extent of the cost, nature of land ownership, and type of agricultural practice. For areas requiring extensive financing carefully worked out acts providing for the procedure for such financing are available. For areas of low cost desiring simplicity of operation, less formal types of organization may be used. There follows a brief discussion of the various California conservation acts, the first five of which are published in full in this bulletin. This discussion is a summary of a similar part of Bulletin 21 of the Department of Public Works, Division of Engineering and Irrigation, entitled "Irrigation Districts in California," which contains detail information regarding individual districts organized under the more important acts. California Irrigation District Act. This term is used specifically to describe the act governing organizations formed under the older or Wright irrigation district law with its subsequent amendments. While organizations under all similar laws are in a general sense, irrigation districts, other laws have been given various distinguishing titles in an effort to avoid confusion. This act is also frequently referred to as the California Irrigation District Act. The original or Wright Act, passed in 1887, was largely rewritten by the Bridgeford Act in 1897, and has been extensively amended by nearly every recent legislature.

Book Description
Excerpt from Report on Irrigation Districts in California: For the Year 1930 The data contained in this report have been assembled by the office of the State Engineer, Division of Water Resources, Department of Public Works. from information furnished by the irrigation districts of the State. This information has been analyzed and checked, and while it is believed to be substantially correct and reliable, there may be minor inaccuracies in individual cases. Three earlier reports have been published on this subject, giving complete information of irrigation districts and the irrigation district movement in California up to and including 1929. These earlier reports are presented in Bulletin 2 (1916) of the State Department of Engineering, Bulletin 21 (1929) of the Department of Engineering and Irrigation and Bulletin 21-A (1930) of Division of Water Resources. The present report is published for the purpose of continuing this series of bulletins and bringing up to date historical and statistical data on California irrigation districts, and recording such other information as was obtained on irrigation district activities in 1930. It is desired to express the appreciation of this office for the cooperation of district officials. Through their generally prompt response to our requests for information, we have been able to prepare for publication the irrigation district bulletin for 1930 three months earlier in the year than was possible for the 1929 report.

Excerpt from Irrigation in the San Joaquin Valley, California The great migration caused by the discovery of gold in 1848 was largely responsible for the early development of all parts of the State.

Book Description
Excerpt from Ground Water for Irrigation in the Sacramento Valley, California The price Of land is based on its anticipated value under irrigation and not on its value for dry farming. When subdivided, it is sold for two to three times its value for grain-raising, and for many tracts the purchaser must provide the means Of irrigation. The colonizing Of subdivided lands has become a business and is in the main con ducted by reputable firms. A large block Of land is purchased and surveyed into small tracts with provision for roads and perhaps for a town site. Irrigation works may be provided or a demonstration well and pumping plant installed with the intention that the settlers should install private plants, using wells for Obtaining water. Pur Chasers are attracted by agents and advertising. Charges of fraud have been made and doubtless in some cases are justified, but wide publicity and Cooperation among real estate men are eliminating false and exaggerated statements. Intending settlers should exercise cau tion, view the property, compare it with Similar Offers, and be sure that they are getting good land well situated for a fair price. The value of farm land rests primarily on the quality of the soil and the value Of the crops which it will produce, but the price Of similar land varies with proximity to market, towns, and schools, with danger of floods and assessments for reclamation, with the kind of irrigation feasible, and with many other local factors. The formation Of an intelligent judgment will be assisted bya study of reports of the United States Bureau Of Soils, covering large parts Of the valley, which are given in the following list.
