Edward Hyatt, the son of Edward and Margaret (Gill) Hyatt, was born
near San Jacinto, Calif., on July 21, 1888. He received degrees in
civil engineering from Stanford University. He began his
thirty-five year career in the service of his native state as an
engineer for the California Highway Commission. In 1916 he
transferred to the State Water Commission, an agency created to
administer state laws pertaining to water rights. In 1921 the State
Water Commission became part of the Division of Water Rights of the
State Department of Public Works; Mr. Hyatt was appointed deputy
chief and then chief of that division. In 1927 he was appointed
State Engineer of California. Mr. Hyatt directed surveys which led
to the development of the State Water Plan, the basis for the water
conservation program in California, and of the Central Valley
Project. He was a member of several governmental planning
committees, technical associations, and honorary societies. He was
a Past-President of the Sacramento Section of the Society. Mr.
Hyatt died on June 17, 1954. From: Transactions of the American
