  • The Colorado River Aqueduct
    Fact Sheet: Our Water Lifeline__ The Colorado River Aqueduct. Photo: Aerial photo of CRA Investment in Reliability The Colorado River Aqueduct is considered one of the nation’s Many innovations came from this period in time, including the top civil engineering marvels. It was originally conceived by creation of a medical system for contract workers that would William Mulholland and designed by Metropolitan’s first Chief become the forerunner for the prepaid healthcare plan offered Engineer Frank Weymouth after consideration of more than by Kaiser Permanente. 50 routes. The 242-mile CRA carries water from Lake Havasu to the system’s terminal reservoir at Lake Mathews in Riverside. This reservoir’s location was selected because it is situated at the upper end of Metropolitan’s service area and its elevation of nearly 1,400 feet allows water to flow by gravity to the majority of our service area The CRA was the largest public works project built in Southern California during the Great Depression. Overwhelming voter approval in 1929 for a $220 million bond – equivalent to a $3.75 billion investment today – brought jobs to 35,000 people. Miners, engineers, surveyors, cooks and more came to build Colorado River the aqueduct, living in the harshest of desert conditions and Aqueduct ultimately constructing 150 miles of canals, siphons, conduits and pipelines. They added five pumping plants to lift water over mountains so deliveries could then flow west by gravity. And they blasted 90-plus miles of tunnels, including a waterway under Mount San Jacinto.

  • Middle Potomac River Watershed Assessment: Potomac River Sustainable Flow and Water Resources Analysis
    Middle Potomac River Watershed Assessment: Potomac River Sustainable Flow and Water Resources Analysis April 2014 Middle Potomac River Watershed Assessment: Potomac River Sustainable Flow and Water Resources Analysis United States Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District The Natural Conservancy Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin Final Report April 2014 Recommended citation: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, The Nature Conservancy, and Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin. 2014. Middle Potomac River Watershed Assessment: Potomac River Sustainable Flow and Water Resources Analysis. Final Report. 107 pp. and 11 appendices. Cover photograph: Great Falls on the Potomac River as seen from Virginia. Jim Palmer (ICPRB) Middle Potomac River Watershed Assessment Abstract The Middle Potomac River Watershed Assessment (MPRWA) was a collaborative effort to assess the relationship between streamflow alteration and ecological response in the Potomac River and its tributaries in a study area defined as the Middle Potomac. The assessment is comprised of five distinct components: (1) a large river environmental flow needs assessment, (2) a stream and small rivers environmental flow needs assessment, (3) a projection of future water uses, (4) a stakeholder engagement process, and (5) development of a concept or scope for a strategic comprehensive plan for watershed management. This information can be used to balance and mitigate water use conflicts and prevent ecological degradation. To assess flow needs in the Potomac watershed, the Ecologically Sustainable Water Management (ESWM) approach was used for large rivers and the Ecological Limits of Hydrologic Alteration (ELOHA) framework was adapted for streams and small rivers. In the large rivers included in this study, based on currently available information, there has been no discernible adverse ecological impact on focal species due to human modification of flows.

  • Princetown Audio Walk Transcript
    Transcript of Audio Walk for Princetown Peter Nash – Presenter Jackie Ridley, Sustainable Tourism Officer, Dartmoor National Park Authority Ella Briens, Ranger, Dartmoor National Park Authority Track 1 – Introduction, High Moorland Visitor Centre, Princetown (Grid reference SX 591 735) Hello and welcome to Dartmoor National Park and this audio walk encapsulating the ancient settlements, railways and quarries around Princetown. The town stands at 1400ft above sea level and is surrounded by beautiful open moorland, but is famous, or rather infamous for its prison. Still very much functioning today, and an institution rather dominating the town, we are going to be heading in the opposite direction to the prison, to take in some altogether older artefacts of mankind and nature on this beautiful area of Dartmoor National Park. As with all the Dartmoor National Park Authority audio walks, we’ve divided this audio tour into several sections, each one being a separate track for you to download onto your player, and that way you can simply switch off when you are walking, and then start playing the new track at the next point of interest and I’ll give you full directions when to do this in the audio itself. You’ll also find that the names of each track include the grid reference of where you should be, so that you can follow the tour using a standard Ordnance Survey map – in this case the Explorer OL28 for Dartmoor. Or you can download the accompanying map with this audio walk so that you can have a back-up to the instructions in the audio.

  • The Mill on the Leybourne Stream and Its Water Management in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 130 - 2010 THE MILL ON THE LEYBOURNE STREAM AND ITS WATER MANAGEMENT IN THE EIGHTEENTH AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES SIMON PRATT, PETER SEARY AND SHEILA SWEETINBURGH In 2004 the Canterbury Archaeological Trust undertook a desk-based assessment of the environs of the former watermill (TQ 68715 58485) at Leybourne (Fig. 1), along with the recording of a surviving wall of the mill and a contour survey of an area to its south and west. The same area was sampled by evaluation trenching the following year (Fig. 2). These investigations into the mill’s water-management system formed part of a much broader project, commissioned and coordinated by Kent County Council, to deal with the archaeological impact of the realignment of the A228 to bypass Leybourne and West Malling. The greater part of that project is reported upon elsewhere1 whilst much of the later history of the mill has been covered in an unpublished study,2 which its author generously made available. Though some of the various phases of undated, low-level water channels identified on the valley floor (Tr.11, 18, ?19, 24 and 24A) may have fed early mills mentioned in documentary sources, there was no clear evidence that they were so associated, nor that they had been artificially diverted from their natural course. Other than these channels, only two main phases of water-management system could be identified during fieldwork and it is upon them, and contemporary documentary evidence, that this article will concentrate. The first such phase (Fig. 3) included three or four leats or ditches (A-D), most probably feeding a small mill pond.
