The problem of properly and equita-
bly, distributing irrigating waters in case
OF shortage has worried the ranchers
and others of Nevada for some years,
but the question is now shaping for an
accurate and speedy solution, says the
Carson, News. In several places in the
State the ranchers are willing and anx-
lous to take the proper and necessary
steps voluntarily at the present time
and without the assistance of the State,
but in other places they desire to
have statute passed by the coming
session of the Legislature which will
cover the problem and solution. The
question is vital one, especially to
those having rights on the lower part
of a stream. - 49,.
Under the present State law when
there is water shortage water com
missioners are appointed whose duties
consist,of making the proper distribu-
ton according to the rights and prior
tiles of the ranchers along the course
of the stream or who receive their
supply from such stream. These COM
missioners estimate the water flowing
and then estimate the distribution:
there isno certainty to their work and
they have no manner of knowing how
near the actual flow they figure on.
Often their work is very good, for in
stance State Engineer Nicholas discov-
cred several days ago that water com
missioners in Carson valley had est
mated the actual flow within 900 in
ches. The men made the estimate
without instruments or any method of
arriving at their decision otherwise
than experience. Though their esti
mate was remarkably close, yet this
300 inches as estimated would
irrigate 900 acres of land, AS it require
about an inch to the acre.
Ranchers and water owners along the
streams affected and warmly approved
by the State Engineers Office, are tC
install a system of weirs along the
stream and also at the head gates OF
each ditch. Under this plan a weir
"Ooiu DC pldCeu, LOT instance, on Gar
son river above the place where the
irrigation begins, then weir would be
placed at the headgate on each ditch
leading from the stream. Weirs are SO
constructed that the exact amount of
water passing through can be measured
and by such system, the priorities and
rights being established, each rancher
will receive exactly the water to which
he is entitled. The necessary weirs
are of easy and cheap construction,
being no more than a sort of sluice-wa
made of concrete and wood and cost
ing at an ordinary headgate about $40
to $15 each. They will be made in
widths of 3, 6, 8 and IL feet.
1t is proposed to have the State erect
these on the river or main streams
such as the Muddy, Humboldt, Truckee
and Carson rivers; those at the head
gates to be erected by the owner of
such bitches. There will be no cost of
maintenance and once the system is
established, the problem of water dis
tribution will be settled where the
