Scope and Content

This collection is the result of Frank E. Bonner's work as a consulting engineer for four California water agencies. The collection is divided into five series: California (General), Oakdale and South San Joaquin Irrigation Districts, Oroville-Wyandotte Irrigation District, Richvale Irrigation District, and Sacramento Municipal Utility District. These series are further broken down into the following subseries: General and Components. Materials under the General Subseries discuss the projects as a whole while the materials under the Components Subseries focus on specific aspects of each project. The materials in this collection consist of water and hydroelectric power studies, maps, designs, computations, drawings, photographs, and reports on various constructed or proposed water developments in the Sierra Nevada.
