Biographical Note
Harold Christy Schwalen was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on August 1,
1895. He moved to Tucson in 1904, where he attended public school. The
University of Arizona awarded his B.S., Mechanical Engineering in 1917; M.S.,
Civil Engineering, in 1925; and C.E. Professional degree in 1946. Between 1930
and 1931, Schwalen attended the Universities of Iowa and Wisconsin for advanced
course work in hydrology and geology. Schwalen joined the faculty of the
Agricultural Engineering Department in 1919, after two years' service with the
340th Field Artillery in France during World War I. He terminated active
service with the University in 1965, having achieved the longest record of
full-time service of any person who has ever retired from the University of
Arizona.
During his years with the Department of Agriculture Engineering,
Schwalen served as Assistant Irrigation Engineer; Assistant Agricultural
Engineer at the Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station, Professor and Head of
the Agricultural Engineering Department between 1945 and 1959, and Professor
and Agricultural Engineer to 1965.The quality of his service was commensurate
with the length of time he served the University. His name was virtually
synonymous with the University in matters relating to agricultural engineering
and particularly with reference to problems of water supply and usage in the
state of Arizona.
His research dealt with the location, drilling, and testing of
irrigation wells, the design and operation of pumping plants, and the
conveyance of irrigation water from the point of supply to crop land. Other
work concerned the diversion of flood waters in the recharging of underground
reservoirs and the maintenance of water resources. His reports and publications
concerning his research have been widely used in furthering water conservation
and development in Arizona and the nation.
During World War II, Schwalen was granted leave to accept the
appointment, Senior Irrigation Engineer for the Guayule Emergeny Rubber Project
U. S. D. A., 1942-1943.
Schwalen held memberships in Kappa Sigma fraternity, the Masonic Lodge,
Tucson Rotary Club, and the Old Pueblo Club. He additionally belonged to
numerous professional and learned societies. He was a member of the committee
on groundwater of the American Society of Civil Engineers; president and
director, Arizona Section, American Society of Civil Engineers, president,
Pacific Coast Section; and Arizona director of the National Reclamation
Association. He is listed in
Who's Who in America,
Who's Who in Engineering, and
American Men of Science.
Scope and Content Note
Though some papers date as far back as 1906, the collection mainly
contains data from Schwalen's various research projects after 1919. The only
personal information deals with his post graduate studies, membership in
professional organizations (1939-1963), and records that cover his employment
with the University of Arizona (1930-1963).
The remainder of the Schwalen papers contain research notes and
calculations, maps, photographs, correspondence, and reports that cover the
Dept. of Soils Water and Engineering consulting projects (1931-1966), work at
the University's Experiment stations (1922-1965), surface and groundwater
studies in Arizona (1917- 1963). Additionally, there is a collection of
manuscript reports by Schwalen and others (1914-1952), legal documents and
miscellaneous studies on water-related topics. Where dates are absent none
could be determined.
Two linear feet of photographs (1919-1966) deal with such topics as
floods and erosion, well drilling, pumping equipment, weirs, sprinkler
irrigation, adobe construction and others. Original order has been retained due
to the difficulty of identifying many of the photos. These are organized by
subject or place, and in some cases, by township and range. Approximately 2000
unidentified negatives have been filed under topics or places where possible.
The Library would appreciate researchers' help in making further
identification.
Recorder strips for Cortaro Farms span the years 1918 to 1964.
Individual strips were not retained if summary tabulations were available. This
is also true of weather charts. The Library retained charts from 1917-1941,
which are years for which we lack published data.
It is the responsibility of the user to obtain permission to publish
from the owner of the copyright (the institution, the creator of the record,
the author or his/her transferees, heirs, legates, or literary executors). The
user agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Arizona Board of Regents for the
University of Arizona, its officers, employees, and agents from and against all
claims made by any person asserting that he or she is an owner of
copyright.
The collection is liberally illustrated with maps. One box (.4 linear
feet) of loose maps have been transferred to the Map Department for separate
cataloging.
All duplicate material and most newspaper clippings were discarded.
Published pamphlets that bore annotations were kept with the collection, while
others (.3 linear feet) were cataloged for general library use.

Since World War II agricultural experiment stations at state land
grant universities have become major research centers involved in both basic
and applied research. These were established by the Hatch Act in 1887, and in
1890 Arizona received its first funds for agricultural research. Since then,
these stations have become an integral part of the College of Agriculture at
the University of Arizona.
Established in 1924 on 105 acres, Casa Grande farm is in the
Flowing Wells Irrigation District. It is adjacent to the Santa Cruz River and
bisected by highway 10. In the collection it is also referred to as the "new
university farm." Contains correspondence and material mainly dealing with
construction of irrigation systems. Presently known as the West Campus
Agricultural Center.
Interested in having a research facility in the Marana area, the
University purchased 190 acres from Cortaro Farms. This series includes data on
water and wells on both Marana and Cortaro areas. The facility is now known as
the Marana Agriculture Center (sometimes referred to as the Marana Experiment
Farm in the series). Includes Cortaro Recorder, tabulations of daily water
levels of wells taken from continuous water level record. Santa Cruz Recorder,
1939-1942 (no location given), is also included.

Harold Schwalen carried out experiments between 1925 and 1929 to
determine the effect of different irrigation treatments upon the quality and
yield of lettuce. Preliminary study was carried out at the Yuma Valley Farm in
1925 and continued on the Libbart Ranch near the Salt River Valley Experiment
Farm in Mesa.
The Yuma agricultural centers consist of the headquarters Yuma
Valley Center, and the Yuma Mesa Center. The Mesa Farm was established in 1919,
covers 240 acres, and is primarily concerned with citrus culture and irrigation
requirements for a variety of crops. The 274-acre Valley farm was purchased in
1954, where irrigation ditches are open, concrete-lined V-type. The series
deals mainly with ditch construction, and other irrigation and drainage
concerns.

The Department carried out the first quantitative study of a water
supply in the Rillito portion of the Santa Cruz Valley in 1910, which was
widely read throughout irrigated countries. The study revealed sources,
movements, extent, and limitations of groundwater, and indicated how the
groundwater should be obtained, as from a basin rather than an underflow, and
determined the economics of groundwater utilization. Since that time,
groundwater studies were carried out in seven other Arizona Valleys. These were
not as extensive because of facts established by the Rillito study, but did
serve as a basis for irrigation development.
The Agriculture Engineering Dept. initiated groundwater studies in
Little Chino Valley in the fall of 1937, continuing 2 weeks of field work/year
until 1967. In common with other areas in Arizona that are wholly dependent on
groundwater for irrigation water supply, Little Chino Valley artesian area had
been developed beyond its natural rate of recharge. The results of the studies
and their interpretation are essential to the understanding and solution to the
water supply problem in the Valley. Researchers accumulated well drilling
information and well logs, spring water and artesian pressure measurements,
established benchmark elevations at well locations, measured well discharge,
carried out crop surveys for establishing groundwater use, and accumulated
geohydrologic information in the groundwater basin.

Over the years, the Department has contributed expertise, through
numerous studies and reports, on irrigation projects throughout the state.
During the struggle for control of Colorado River waters, the Department
rendered service to the state by analyzing the complex, interrelated physical
and political factor, then interpreted to the legislators and to the people
through bulletins and papers. The series includes much of this material.
