THE IRRIGATION AGE 



RIVER WATER USED EIGHT 

 TIMES. 



California Stream. Diverted for 

 Power, Irrigation, and Munici- 

 pal Water Supply. 



Tower can be developed upon 

 many surface streams and applied 

 to the recovery of the water of the 

 streams after it has sunk into the 

 earth in the lower lands of the 



valleys. An instance of this char- 

 acter according to the United 

 States Geological Survey is to be 

 found along Santa Ana River in 

 southern California. A part of the 

 water of this river is stored in a 

 reservoir in the San Bernardino 

 Mountains and the flow of the 

 stream is thereby regulated. After 

 it escapes from the reservoir it is 

 diverted through a power plant 

 and electric power is generated.

Below this power plant it is re- 

 diverted and passed through a 

 second power plant. Below this 

 it is all distributed and used for 

 municipal purposes and irrigation 

 about Redlands and Highlands. 

 The waters that return from the 

 irrigation are recovered in springs 

 and flowing wells and by pump- 

 ing plants, a portion of the power 

 developed higher up on the stream 

 being used for the pumping. This 

 recovered water is used for irriga- 

 tion about San Bernardino and 

 Riverside. A part of it reappears 

 in the river above Riverside Nar- 

 rows, where it is again taken out 

 into a power ditch whose waters 

 are returned to the river above 

 Corona. A few miles below it is 

 picked up by canals and distrib- 

 uted to the orange and deciduous 

 groves about Anaheim and Santa 

 Ana. The portion of it that re- 

 turns there, by irrigation, to the 

 ground water is once more recov- 

 ered by the many pumping plants 

 and flowing wells west of Santa- 

 Ana.
