Excerpt from Irrigation Management: The Operation, Maintenance and Betterment of Works for Bringing Water to Agricultural Lands The irrigation manager and his assistants are com ing to be appreciated more and more as important factors in the successful growth of agriculture in the western part of the United States. Within the past few years innumerable irrigating canals, big and little, have been built, bringing water to many millions of acres, In planning these enterprises the chief thought and effort of those concerned was to build works to bring water to more lands. It was assumed that, when this was done, the areas thus reclaimed would be quickly utilized and that there would rapidly grow up a pros perous and contented population'. This happy condi tion has not followed; we are beginning to see that the planning and building of irrigation works is only the beginning; possibly it is the easiest part of the problem of conservation and use of the resources of the arid and semi-arid regions. The really difficult and at times discouraging work is that of properly util izing the irrigation systems after they are built and of getting fair returns from the irrigated lands.

Excerpt from Report of Progress of the Division of Hydrography for the Calendar Year 1895 The resident hydrographers are kept in touch with the work of each other and with that of the office force through the assistance and advice given by the inspecting hydrographers regularly employed by this Sur vey, who constantly travel from point to point, assisting in establishing river stations, making measurements, repairing damages caused by floods, rating current meters, and perfecting methods and devices. By this means improvements suggested by the experience of one man are communicated in turn to all the rest, and especial attention can be given to difficult problem S.

(Excerpt from Water Supply for Irrigation The total area ...)
Excerpt from Water Supply for Irrigation The total area upon which crops were raised by irrigation was, accord ing to the results obtained by the Eleventh Census, acres, or square miles. This applies to the year ending May 31, 1890, the census being taken during the following June. Comparing this area with the total land surface west of the one hundredth meridian, it is found to be approximately only four-tenths of 1 per cent. In other words, for every acre from which crops were obtained by irrigation there were nearly 250 acres of land most of which was not utilized in any way except for pasturage.

Frederick Haynes Newell was born on March 5, 1862 in Bradford, Pennsylvania, United States. He was the son of Augustus William and Annie Maria (Haynes) Newell. He lost his mother when he was a child and was reared in Newton, Massachussets, by his maiden aunts.
Frederick graduated from the high school in Newton, Massachussets in 1881. In 1885 he received the degree of Bachelor of Science in mining engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Newell was engaged for three years in various surveys in Pennsylvania, Colorado, and other states, and was appointed, October 2, 1888, as assistant hydraulic engineer in the United States Geological Survey under Major John Wesley Powell.
For nearly fourteen years he was engaged in irrigation surveys as hydrographer in charge of stream measurements, selection and survey of reservoir sites, and irrigation projects in the arid West. On the passage of the Reclamation Act in 1902, in the preparation of which he had been prominently concerned, he was made chief engineer of the Reclamation Service under Charles D. Walcott, director of the Geological Survey. In 1907, he was made director of the Reclamation Service, which then became an independent bureau of the Department of the Interior. In this position he continued until 1914, when he was succeeded by Arthur P. Davis, and became consulting engineer for the same service. During his incumbency of these positions the Reclamation Service surveyed and began construction of twenty-five irrigation projects in eighteen different states, involving an investment of nearly $100, 000, 000 in dams, reservoirs, tunnels, canals, and power and pumping plants. These and auxiliary minor works served about 1, 500, 000 acres of arid land.
He delivered many lectures on irrigation before schools and scientific and civic organizations in various parts of the country. In 1915, he became head of the department of civil engineering of the University of Illinois, but resigned from this position in 1920 and returned to his former home in Washington, D. C. He was associated with others in the organization of the American Association of Engineers, of which he became president in 1919.
Newell was at various times a member of the United States Land Commission, Inland Waterways Commission, Advisory Board on Fuels and Structural Materials, and Illinois State Board of Examiners of Structural Materials. During his career he wrote Hydrography of the Arid Regions (1891); Report on Agriculture by Irrigation in the Western Part of the United States (1894), published by the 11th Census; The Public Lands of the United States and Their Water Supply (1895); Irrigation in the United States (1902); Hawaii, Its Natural Resources and Opportunities for Home-Making (1909); Principles of Irrigation Engineering (1913), with D. W. Murphy; Irrigation Management (1916); Water Resources, Present and Future Uses (1920). He was joint editor of Engineering as a Career (1916), a series of papers by distinguished members of the profession; and editor of Planning and Building the City of Washington (1932). He died suddenly in Washington, D. C. , of heart failure.

Newell was a good speaker of pleasing personality.
On April 3, 1890 Newell married Effie Josephine Mackintosh of Milton, Massachussets, who with one son and two daughters survived him.
