Reference excerpt

The Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District Office in Nampa, Idaho, is a 1-story brick and concrete building designed by Tourtellotte and Hummel and completed in 1919. The building features tall, narrow window fenestrations topped by large, vertical keystones with sidestones. Most of the windows have been replaced by a flat stucco surface painted brilliant white. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

History Irrigation districts in Idaho began forming toward the end of the 19th century, and by 1903 Idaho counted four irrigation districts: Weiser in Washington County, Pioneer in Canyon County, New Sweden in Bingham County, and Oneida in Oneida County. Montpelier Irrigation District was formed in Bear Lake County later in 1903, and farmers in Meridian held meetings to establish their own irrigation district. In 1904 the Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District was formed in Meridian by farmers in Canyon and Ada Counties, and one of the organization's first actions was to purchase and expand the Ridenbaugh Canal, begun in 1878 by William T. Ridenbaugh to irrigate a large ranch owned by his uncle, William B. Morris. By 1913 the Ridenbaugh Canal had been expanded from an original length of six miles to nearly 40 miles, and it carried water to more than 1000 customers, including over 600 farms. Early in 1919 the district moved its headquarters from Meridian to Nampa, and offices were opened on the second floor of Nampa City Hall. (Although listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 1910 City Hall was demolished in 1991.) After two months at City Hall, the district announced plans to build its own office in Nampa. The Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District Office became occupied in April 1920.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District Office

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District Office claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District Office before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District Office ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District Office

In research: Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District Office appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District Office in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District Office is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1919 establishments in Idaho, Boise Project, Buildings and structures completed in 1919, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District Office outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
