Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of the humpback chub, a unique fish species found exclusively in the Colorado River basin. The author traces the fish's history, from its relatively recent discovery in the mid-20th century to its current endangered status. The narrative explores the distinctive physical characteristics of the humpback chub, including its prominent hump, flattened head, and long snout, which have enabled it to thrive in the challenging Colorado River ecosystem. The book delves into the factors that have led to the decline of humpback chub populations, primarily the construction of dams and the resulting alterations to the river's flow and temperature. The author also examines the impact of introduced species and hybridization on the survival of this remarkable fish. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to outlining a comprehensive recovery plan for the humpback chub. This plan encompasses habitat restoration, population monitoring, and the establishment of captive breeding programs. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the fish's habitat requirements and limiting factors to ensure its long-term survival. By shedding light on the challenges faced by the humpback chub and the ongoing efforts to conserve it, this book offers valuable insights into the delicate balance between human activities and the preservation of endangered species.

First edition for this year. This was a progressive report of developments in the construction of the aqueduct and there were other issues in 1931, 1934 and 1935. Small octavo (5 3/4 x 4 inches).

"The 242-mile Colorado River aqueduct provided the water that made the large scale population and economic growth of Southern California possible. Stretching 242 miles from the Colorado River on the California-Arizona border to its final holding reservoir near Riverside, California, the Colorado River Aqueduct consists of more than 90 miles of tunnels, nearly 55 miles of cut-and-cover conduit, almost 30 miles of siphons, and five pumping stations. Supplying approximately 1.2 million acre-feet of water a year - more than a billion gallons a day - it helped make possible the phenomenal growth of Los Angeles, San Diego, and surrounding Southern California areas in the second half of the 20th century. Funded by a bond issue of $220 million approved by voters in 1931, the Colorado River Aqueduct is capable of lifting more than 1,600 cubic feet of water per second to a static height of 1,600 feet as it travels over several desert mountain ranges. Recognizing the project's unprecedented length, cost, pumping rate, lift, and severe climate and terrain, the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1955 selected it as one of Seven Modern Civil Engineering Wonders" (American Society of Civil Engineers).
