Publisher's Synopsis
""Irrigation Development"" is a comprehensive study of the history, customs, laws, and administrative systems related to irrigation, watercourses, and waters in France, Italy, and Spain. Written by William Ham Hall and published in 1886, the book explores the development of irrigation practices and technologies in these countries, including the use of aqueducts, canals, and other water management systems. The author also delves into the legal and administrative frameworks that govern water use and allocation, providing a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in the history and management of irrigation. With its detailed analysis of irrigation practices across three major European countries, ""Irrigation Development"" offers a unique perspective on the role of water in shaping human societies and economies.The Introductory Part Of The Report Of The State Engineer Of California, On Irrigation And The Irrigation Question.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
