Book Description
Excerpt from Feasibility of Serving the Plumas County Flood Control and Water Conservation District From the State Water Project In November 1960, the California Water Resources Development Bond Act was approved by the State's electorate, paving the way for the construction of the State Water Project. Since that time, many local water service agencies throughout the state have applied to the Department of Water Resources for consideration as potential contractors with the State for water service from the proposed facilities. Several water agencies have been organized and formed since November 1960 expressly for the purpose of obtaining supplemental water supplies from the State facilities for the areas they represent. Prior to executing contracts for a water supply with public agencies, the Department of Water Resources made studies of those agencies and the areas encompassed by them to determine the propriety of entering into such contracts. These studies were made with the goal of evala ating (1) each area's future demand for supplemental water supplies, (2) the legal ability of each agency in question to enter into a water supply contract with the State, (3) the engineering feasibility of providing the proposed water service, and (4) the financial ability of each agency and its constituent area to bear the financial burden necessarily imposed upon it by a water supply contract with the State.

Low-Volume Roads Engineering - Best Management Practices Field Guide
Author: Gordon Keller
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781998295333
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This Low-Volume Roads Engineering Best Management Practices Field Guide is intended to provide an overview of the key planning, location, design, construction, and maintenance aspects of roads that can cause adverse environmental impacts and to list key ways to prevent those impacts. Best Management Practices are general techniques or design practices that, when applied and adapted to fit site-specific conditions, will prevent or reduce pollution and maintain water quality. BMPs for roads have been developed by many agencies since roads often have a major adverse impact on water quality, and most of those impacts are preventable with good engineering and management practices. Roads that are not well planned or located, not properly designed or constructed, not well maintained, or not made with durable materials often have negative effects on water quality and the environment.

Industrial Cowboys
Author: David Igler
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520245342
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
"The process by which two neighborhood butchers turned themselves into landed industrialists depended to an extraordinary degree on the acquisition, manipulation, and exploitation of natural resources. Igler examines the broader impact of western industrialism - as exemplified by Miller & Lux - on landscapes and waterscapes, bringing to the forefront the important issues of land reclamation, water politics, San Francisco's unique business environment, and the city's relation to its surrounding hinterlands. He provides a rich discussion of the social relations engineered by Miller & Lux, from the dispossession of Californio rancheros to the ethnic segmentation of the firm's massive labor force."--Jacket.
