Abstract
This paper is a description and discussion of certain experiments on loss of head in wood stave pipes, made under authority of the United States Reclamation Service, on the Sunnyside Project, in the State of Washington. The experiments had their inception in the following circumstance, which shows that necessity is the mother of investigation, as well as of invention: In the spring of 1908 the writer was called upon to determine the required size of a wood stave pipe to carry water across the Yakima River to irrigate some 9 000 acres of land under the Sunnyside Project. Having had no previous experience in similar calculations, nor any knowledge of actual flow under similar conditions, he was forced to resort to the published data on the subject.
