A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The high mountain desert known as the San Luis Valley has been home to farmers and ranchers since the mid 1800's. Recognizing the need for control of the waters that flowed from the high peaks that surround the valley, early farmers devised ways of controlling the flow for their own use. As early as the 1850's farmers were constructing canals for irrigation of crop lands. Later, the need for storage of water resulted in the construction of several storage facilities. In 1936, the Bureau of Reclamation began to study the water needs of the San Luis Valley, and the results of that research led to the initiation of the San Luis Valley Project.
