Stream Regulation With Reference to Irrigation and Power
The regulation of the water of a stream to render it available for both power and irrigation is largely a local problem. Power and irrigation demands arc usually so widely different that a decision must be reached us to which use shall be given the preference, and rarely do the two demands dovetail so completely that there is no conflict. In some sections, notably in California, a source of power is being rapidly developed that is purely a by-product of irrigation. Where large reservoirs are constructed for the storage of irrigation water, plants are being built to develop power when and as irrigation water is released from them. On some streams by reason of the law of priority of water rights the opposite is true and irrigation use is secondary to power, agriculture by irrigation thus becoming a by-product of industry.
