From the Abstract: "This report traces by text, maps, and photographs the development of the water supply in the Santa Ana River Basin from its beginning in 1810 or 1811 to 1968. The value of the report lies in the fact that interpretation of the hydrologic systems in the basin requires knowledge of the concurrent state of development of the water supply, because that development has progressively altered the regimen of both surface water and ground water."
