Excerpt from Report of the State Engineer to the Governor of Colorado for the Years 1883 and 1884 On the Big Thompson, the first work done was to have a straight length of the river dressed, so that gaugings and ratings could be made of the amount of discharge of the river. This was done at a point about two hundred yards above the head of the upper ditch, twelve miles from Loveland. The work consisted in removing drift and put ting the channel into uniform shape. Ou completion, accu rate measurements of cross-sections of the prepared length were made and a gauge rod erected tri-daily observations of the height of water on this rod were made by a local observer.

Edwin S. Nettleton was born on October 22, 1831 on a farm near Medina, Ohio, United States. He was the son of Lewis Baldwin and Julia (Baldwin) Nettleton, both of whom were natives of Washington, Connecticut. He had no middle name but adopted the initial "S" when he started business for himself.
Although Edwin's formal education was cut short after a period at Oberlin College (1853 - 54), by reason of lack of funds, he never ceased to be a student of engineering subjects.
Nettleton went into the lumber business with his cousin, Frank Broadwell, at Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Removing to Pleasantville, Pennsylvania early in 1865, he took an interest in some oil wells and served as county surveyor. At Council Bluffs he met and joined the Union or Greeley Colony, organized by Nathan C. Meeker, agricultural editor of the New York Tribune, then on its way to Colorado.
As engineer of the colony, he surveyed the town site of Greeley and laid out its irrigation ditches, which aggregated forty-six miles in length. This system was built out of a common fund and the rights transferred to the water-using farmers, probably the first instance where the use of water for irrigation was put on a truly practical and cooperative basis.
For a few years he was president of a flour-milling company in Pueblo. From 1883 to 1887 he served as state engineer of Colorado, during which time he inaugurated the work of gauging the streams and ditches. To him more than to anyone else is due the excellent system of stream control and water distribution in irrigation which Colorado now possesses. Following this period, he engaged in consulting work, laying out for construction a number of irrigation works in Wyoming and Idaho.
Nettleton was chief engineer in diverting the Yaqui River in Mexico for irrigation purposes. When the first investigation of irrigation was made by the United States government, Nettleton was appointed consulting engineer, acting in that capacity from 1889 to 1893.
He was sent to Spain in 1889 and to Spain and Italy in 1892, to investigate irrigation systems, the manner of reforesting denuded tracts, and methods of preventing destruction of forests. The results of his investigation are included in A Report on Irrigation and the Cultivation of the Soil Thereby (1893), Part II, published by the United States Department of Agriculture.
His last two years were spent as irrigation expert, under Dr. Elwood Mead of the United States Department of Agriculture. In this capacity he made a number of studies in Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado, and was concerned in devising instruments for the better measurement of water. Shortly before his death, the Department of Agriculture published a bulletin by him, entitled The Reservoir System of the Cache La Poudre Valley (1901).
He established the weather bureau on Pike's Peak, taking the levels up twice, the second time simply to verify the first. An owner of real estate in the suburbs of Denver when the boom began in 1898, he became wealthy, but lost much of his fortune in the failure of one of the Denver banks.
Nettleton died in Denver and was buried in Forest Hill Cemetery, Kansas City, Missouri.
Nettleton built the Larimer and Weld Canal for the Colorado Mortgage & Investment Company, commonly known as the English Company. This irrigation system was the largest in Colorado up to that time, covering, in 1881, 60, 000 acres of land between Greeley and Fort Collins. He also built the High Line Canal, known as the English Ditch because it was under the financial control of the English Company. He was one of the founders and one of the first trustees of Colorado College, at Colorado Springs.

On October 17, 1861, he married Lucy F. Grosvenor, of Medina, Ohio; they had four children.
