Book Description
Excerpt from Status of San Joaquin Valley Drainage Problems The San Joaquin Valley faces a growing problem of salt management that threatens to disrupt the agri cultural economy of the Valley, that endangers the quality of valley ground water supplies, that could degrade further the surface water supplies of the main stem of the San Joaquin River in both the Valley and the Delta, and that could de crease the productivity of more than a million acres of irrigated agri cultural land. Bulletin No. 127, San Joaquin Valley Drainage investigation-san Joaquin Master Drain, issued in pre liminary form in January 1965, was prepared in response to directives contained in Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 27, adopted by the 1963 Session of the California Legislature. While Bulletin No. 127 complied with the directives of scr No. 27, some aspects of the salt management problems were left to future study. Bulletin No. 127 described the Valley's salt management problems at that time and contained specific recommendations that a master drain from near Bakersfield to near Antioch Bridge-be constructed as a solution to the problems.
