Proceedings of the State Board of Drainage Commissioners, at a Meeting Held May 28, 1880
This volume contains the official record of the proceedings of the State Board of Drainage Commissioners at a meeting held on May 28, 1880. The central focus is the formation of Drainage District No. 1, including the report of the State Engineer concerning a drainage district for the Sacramento Valley. Providing a detailed look into the infrastructural and legal considerations of land management in late 19th-century California, it offers invaluable primary source material for researchers in environmental history, civil engineering, and water resource management. The report outlines the proposed district's boundaries and the planned engineering interventions. Essential reading for understanding the historical context of California's water infrastructure and environmental policy.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
