http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/301318147

The Papers of Marvin E. Jensen consists of documents dated 1957 to 2006, with the bulk of the unpublished material falling from 1993 to 2003. This collection documents two special projects Jensen worked on to evaluate water distribution and usage along the lower Colorado River; one on the Lower Colorado River Accounting System (LCRAS) and the other on water use by the Imperial Irrigation District (IID). The collection includes materials used and created by Jensen to review the LCRAS, recommend changes, and develop crop, water surface, and vegetative coefficients for the system and for the estimation of the Colorado water consumption from Hoover Dam to Morelos Dam on the U.S.-Mexico border. The collection also includes materials used and created by Jensen for his evaluation of Colorado River water usage by the IID for the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Documents include memoranda, correspondence, maps, data, photographs, handwritten notes, references, drafts, and final reports.
