Irrigation; Kings River; Fresno Canal and Irrigation Company; Fresno County, CA.
Description
Two men standing on the main headgate of Kings River of the Fresno Canal and Irrigation Company canal. The water just above the gate will average about eight feet in depth for a width of sixty feet, with the pressure of fall sufficient to cause a flow of three feet per second. As the gates are raised from the bottom only sufficiently to admit a portion of the full head, the water rushes though the opening with great force.
