Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progress Report San Joaquin Valley Drainage Investigation Quality and Treatment Studies Through December 31, 1967: Bio-Engineering Aspects of Agricultural Drainage In 1957, the State Legislature authorized the San Joaquin Valley Drainage Investigation (SJVDI). The purpose of this investigation is to resolve the drainage problems of the San Joaquin Valley. As in most semi-arid areas in which irrigated agriculture is practiced, the drainage problems of the Valley have been handled on a local and not a basin-wide scale. The beginning of the Drainage Investigation indicated that drainage was finally being thought of as a problem of the total basin not just a problem of the unfortunate few. Several phases of the SJVDI, primarily the Quality and Treatment Studies, are of such a nature that they merit separate publication. For this reason a special series of bulletins has been created under the general heading of "Bio-Engineering Aspects of Agricultural Drainage." Bulletin Number 174-1, the first of the series, was entitled, "The Fate of Pesticides Applied to Irrigated Agricultural Land." It reported on studies being conducted on an experimental test plot in western Fresno County. This bulletin, the second of the series, is a progress report. It describes the work done through December 1967 on the Quality and Treatment Studies of the San Joaquin Valley Drainage Investigation. The work, since April 1967, was conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, under contract number 14-06-200-3389A, and the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration, under demonstration grant WPD 143-01-(R2)-67.
