Excerpt from Reports of the State Engineer to the Board of Directors of Drainage District No; 1: No; 1 Drainage Words for the District, No; 2 Dams for Impounding Mining Detritus; July, 1880
Fully one half of this work is such as the general government might possibly undertake for the preservation and improvement of the rivers as navigable streams, but it must be brought forward in its order with the other werks, and cannot be left behind, else the whole will be a failure.
The work should be so carried on as to diminish the time of execution as much as possible; there would be economy in such a course, for they will undoubtedly cost more unless put in final condition as fast as natural action will permit.
Supposing the five millions of dollars were expended during the next ten years, I estimate that the cost of maintenance would be about two hundred thousand dollars per annum after that period, half of which would be for storage of sands and half for river works; and the general government might 'be expected to bear half of the expense if it pursues its present policy in river works.

Amidst rapid population growth and industrial expansion, the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers were overwhelmed by sediment and debris from mining operations, causing widespread flooding and threatening the region's economy. The report, commissioned by the State of California, presents a comprehensive analysis of the problem and proposes a bold plan for addressing it. It describes the extent of the damage caused by flooding and identifies the root causes, providing valuable insights into the challenges faced by California's water management system at the time. The author, an experienced engineer, draws on extensive research and data to propose a multifaceted solution involving the construction of dams, levees, and canals. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of water management in California, as well as the broader history of the American West during a period of significant environmental and economic transformation.
