The new technologies did not come without costs.
Brereton continued his efforts to arrange financing and build the San Joaquin canal project.
From the 1850s through the 1870s the democratic political culture of California staved
During the 1870s Californians struggled to discover this "modified system of the future".
The act creating the office of State Engineer ordered a study of the three major problems facing the valley
The Irrigation Commission in 1873 laid the foundation for a system
