Spreading Water on San Antonio Creek. San Antonio Creek is a smaller stream and water spreading has notbeen on so large a scale as on Santa Ana Eiver, but the methods havebeen similar. The mouth of San Antonio Canyon is shown by PL X,Fig 2. Proof as to the value of spreading water is perhaps more con-clusive on San Antonio Creek than on the Santa Ana. The water isspread over the boulders, gravel and soil below the canyon with slope of200 to 100 feet per mile. An association has been organized among thew^ater companies and individual well owners, of which there are many inPomona Valley, to conduct the work, and the cost is borne by the mem-bers in the proportion that water is used by them. At first the head-works were of a temporary kind and much work had to be done when thefloods came to divert the water. Three main ditches are used.
