| Title | Canal Seepage Loss Investigations in the Lewiston Area, Utah |
| Description | M.S. thesis by Robert V. Thurmond, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Agricultural Engineering, Utah State Agricultural College, 1951. Written under direction of Professor O.W. Israelsen. Typewritten, carbon copy, 65 single-sided pages, with 16 b&w photographs pasted in. Includes maps, tables, and folded charts. Much of the water diverted for irrigation in western states is lost by canal seepage. In many areas canal seepage may cause high water tables which necessitate drainage for continued use of the land for agriculture. The Lewiston area has been confronted with a high water table and inadequte drainage for many years. The major objective of these investigations was to obtain information as to the extent of canal seepage losses in the Lewiston area, Utah. |
