Report, correspondence, documents, maps, photographs, clippings, etc., pertaining to projects in hydraulics, sanitation, irrigation, municipal water supply, surface water and groundwater hydrology, and soil in California and other Western states, particularly for the City of Los Angeles regarding water supply from the Owens Valley.

This is an annotated listing of reports, papers, photographs and maps in the Charles H. Lee collection, Water Resources Collections and Archives, University of California, Riverside. The Lee collection was bequeathed to the Water Resources Collections and Archives by Mr. Lee.

The collection is arranged here in the order in which it was kept by Mr. Lee, i.e. chronologically, and his file numbering system has been adopted with minor changes to accomodate miscellaneous material. Numbers are not sequential in all cases, indicating files which were not included among the donated materials. Reports of his soil testing laboratory, included in the collection, form a separate chronologically arranged group. If not otherwise designated, geographic locations are in California.

It should be noted that papers resulting from Mr. Lee's work with the State Conservation Commission (1912) and later with the State Water Commission and Division of Water Rights (1919-1921) are not among the materials here. They presumably are in the State Archives in Sacramento.

This collection was cataloged by Linda K. Appel.
