Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Proposed Major Development on American River: An Analysis of Its Utility in the Coordinated Plan for the Development of the Water Resources of California
In connection with the investigation, assistance has been received from the American River Hydro-electric Company, State Reclamation Board and American River Flood Control District. The American River Hydro-electric Company furnished topographic maps of the several reservoirs and dam sites, a geological report on the dam sites, data on subsurface explorations at the site of the proposed Folsom dam and a proposed method of operating the reservoirs primarily for power. The State Reclamation Board and the American River Flood Control District, in the early stages of the investigation, furnished engineering assistance in certain phases of the study.
In 1924, a general study of the American River, comparing various schemes of utilization of water resources of the basin, was made and a report� rendered thereon by a board of engineers appointed by the Federal Power Commission and composed of representatives of the Federal Government and a representative of the State of California. The purpose of the investigation was to make a general study of the American River in California with a view to comparing various schemes of utilization of water resources, and outlining such schemes as are best suited to the needs of pow er, irrigation, and domestic supply, bearing in mind the effect produced on interests dependent on the lower Sacra mento River, notably navigation and island irrigation.
