Abstract
Throughout the early stages of irrigation development in the West reservoirs were of little consequence. Land was watered by direct diversion from the natural streams with small effort and at little expense. The success of the pioneers naturally attracted others; more difficult enterprises were under taken; and following the enactment of the Federal Reclamation and Carey Acts, really large-scale undertakings were initiated. By this time, also, the low-water flow of many of the streams had proved to be insufficient to supply all demands. For this reason, and because of the feasibility, under these laws, of financing the construction of dams and other necessary works of considerable magnitude, storage reservoirs began to play a part of constantly increasing importance in all reclamation plans; until, to-day, they are usually considered to be the foundations upon which most new irrigation projects must be based.
