Yuma's Water Issues
Yuma, Arizona had a lot of water issues and it was causing the fresh plants in the fields to not grow the way they were suppose to but however, they also could not put those veggies and fruits in the markets because they were no good. Although, the developers of Yuma also had to pay a lot of money for those plants for them to be thrown away but they soon started a project for the water issues and damages. Yuma would get flooded when it would rain and also the Colorado River was giving more water than it was suppose to and was causing the buildings and houses to be damaged.
When they started to do irrigation they had a private ditch and that one did not work out very well. It was located in the Yuma Valley. The ditch did not work out because …show more content…
it had wood and oil was coming out of the pumps and therefore the rivers would keep on flooding. They had improved and decided to work hard and call it the Yuma Project to fix all of the flooding that they had. Even though they had made a Yuma siphon that sank in 2014. But they have been able to give water from the Colorado River to seven U.S states and however the water from the Colorado River also goes into Mexico. The Yuma developers are the ones that made it happen, Back then water was given in an overflowing way and we would get more than we needed and the water would be wasted and that would cost them money and also start to damage buildings. Now we have something called a widespread used of laser and leveling and also used in the fields so we have water levels under control.
There is a “bola” that they used in the fields and that is used for the flatness of the field. However the fields used to flood and now that they have tools like the bola and widespread they have everything under control. They used to use their hands in farming and now they have special machines to plant the crops, also the sprinklers are also a type of irrigation that give every single plant the same amount of water and the crops also get fertilized. They used the Yuma siphon if the river were to overflow then the siphon would catch the water in time and not go into the town but however the Yuma siphon did overflow once and also did go into the town as well. They call it the Yuma project because they spent their time and worked really hard and it was also a finished project and had fixed the irrigation problems and was very dangerous and they also worked with what they had and made it through even though later throughout the years they started to get better equipment and finished the issues even tho sometimes they had to send divers down to check the water and see if they had to do some repairs. The developers had to overcome dangerous situations especially when it rained, they had to get on boats to be safe because it would not just rain a little bit it would rain feets tall, most likely people would drown. Lots of houses and buildings were destroyed and later had to reconstruct the buildings and houses. They had a uncle Sam postcard that had gambling cards and each card has its representation and they had that as a representation of the Yuma project. However also the crops of the workers would be destroyed, but however they had serious consequences on regrowing their crops.
The water from the Colorado River was going into Mexico and we were having problems with the water but then Mexico and the United States then had an agreement. They also did not have all the tools we have today so they would have to work with what they would have and sometimes it would be a challenge for them to create the dams, canals and other equipment. Another thing that they overcame that they would have or could have had gotten laid off from their job but if that would of happened then our economy would be bad and also our farm lands and “equality of life” and how our fruits and vegetables would not be as good, so not only they overcame something but also our society, even tho there were people who lost their lives while trying to complete the irrigation of Yuma.
They also did not have good on employment, so they had to work really hard to make sure that we had our irrigation under good construction. The workers had to overcome a lot of natural obstacles to build and keep it steady and maintain it. Also, when they started to do irrigation they had battles between the Indians because they had built a fort on their territory and they did not like that so the developers had battles and they won the Indian land. They worked extra hard so we could have vegetables and fruits in our markets because they had to get enough Water for them to be good, and also no more floods. When they would be done with the canals sometimes it wasn't what they wanted it be for just wasn't working so they would have to redo the parts they would mess up on. The developers of Yuma had to put all of their effort and time to do the dams and canals and the irrigation. The Colorado River had continuously too low for the division making many difficulties for irrigation to work. They had both overall because they started off rough because they did not have all of the tools we have now and they would struggle and have to work with what they would had and they would not work very well most of the time. It would also be super hot when they would work so some people would get over heated and would get dehydrated and be sent to the hospital. Lots of people got hurt during the construction of the irrigation and also some of them lost their lives while achieving construction. The Yuma project has evolved since it has been built so therefore our irrigation has improved a lot since they started. But there are a lot more positive things like we got irrigation done with a short amount of time and that we also have great crops and that all of our fruits and vegetables are getting enough water and also the same amount of water and growing very healthy.
The dams grew within time they became larger and larger.
However, there were people who were also abusing the water usage wasting the water for no good. Also, the people who worked in agriculture got payed very little and a lot of people were getting employment. They would have to sometimes work overtime because of the dams overflowing and having to repair them. The Bureau of Reclamation built a levee on the California side on the dam that was topped by a rail-line. Beforehand, they had also gained the cooperation of the Southern Pacific railroad who agreed to deliver cement directly at the dam site. There was a lot of flooding in Yuma and also the flooding caused a lot of damages in the the town. The floods would cause to drop the nutrients on the palin before it recedes and the developers would have a lot of problems to regrow them because then it would cost more money and they would have to get other things too, to create the dams and canals. The flood would wipe out Yuma and leave it a big mess. The floods were messing up the Yuma project. The earthquake messed up Yuma. The crops used to be bad and the plants did not get a lot of water or not the same amount of water and that was making the fruits and vegetables get bad for just dry out. They had just finished the Imperial dam and that made things with water much better than it was before, that was part of the Yuma project. The Laguna dam was the first dam on the Colorado River. The idea of that was to raise the water higher so the gravity can take over with it so it would not overflow. We used 2.27 of direct effect 0.18 of indirect effect and 0.36 induced effect of water in 2014 and that was all on mostly cropping and agriculture. Yuma had a total of 20,744 people with employment in agriculture and that was affecting the economy. The Colorado River irrigated in the Yuma
Valleys.
In 2012 Yuma had its first water flow down the siphon and now that there are dams and canals there is no more of that even tho there were dams and canals in 2012. Yuma got more land because they ended up getting the Indian land from the border of Los Algodones and on we had 50,000 acres of land and now we have 60,000 to 80,000 acres of land. Since Yuma is known for being the sunniest place we have better agriculture, but however it is also a bad thing that we are the sunniest because it is also bad for some of the crops because we can not grow certain things because it is too hot here in Yuma Arizona. The Colorado River water is the reason why we have the crops because with it then the Yuma Mesa and the surrounding valleys would not be good at all with the water coming from the Colorado River.
The key to growing good crops is irrigation if you do not know anything about irrigation then the crops would be no good. Yuma used to be nothing without all of the irrigation we have now and also the tools we have now there has definitely been an impact on the irrigation of Yuma irrigation and however it will get better within time. We have a lot of good growing crops because of all the irrigation. The developers spent a lot of time on the irrigation and Yuma people should be very grateful because we would not have what we have now for example all of the vegetables and the fruits every time it would rain we have to to be worrying about it to flood and then repair our things and cars. They began the irrigation in Yuma in 1941 and ended on 1948. Now we are able to give water to seven U.S states. A major flood happened in 1912 and then after a couple of years in 1916 a larger flood hit the Yuma project and it broke the records and also the water from the Gila River started rising on January 8, 1916, but now they accomplished and do not have that happening anymore because of all of the hard work they have been doing.
