Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Use of Underground Water for Irrigation at Pomona, Cal
Much of the water used for irrigation in southern California is pumped from wells, and there are no sections where water is used more economically. This fact has been brought about by a strong combination of in?uences. One of these is the characteristics of the settlers themselves, who are mostly people of means and education, having come from Eastern States to enjoy the climate and other attractions for which the section is noted. Professional men, busi ness men, and farmers alike have come to lead a retired life and to engage in fruit growing, which 'appealed to them as a method by which they can augment their means and at the same time live a more independent and outdoor life devoid of the hard labor of their former occupations.
