What reading level is The Water Seekers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Late in 1899, with the California Development Company facing defeat, Rockwood was closing up his New York office when a telegram reached him from California : George Chaff ey, the great irrigationist, had agreed to examine the project. Hurrying west- ward, Rockwood met Chaffey and accompanied him into the Colorado Desert. But after two months of investigation the famed empire builder pronounced the scheme impracticable. Rockwood returned to New York all but beaten. By February 1900, with a de...linquent-tax suit threatening the company, he wrote to Anthony Heber in despair.
"I feel very much inclined to jump the whole business and go into something else, " he said, "but will stick to it for a month yet " George Chaffey, in the meantime, had not been able to dis- miss the Colorado scheme. During a visit to Yuma he decided to investigate a new aspect of it which had crossed his mind. Taking an Indian guide, he explored the Colorado delta in de- tail, finding a series of ancient watercourses into the Salton Sink which could be used to cut canal costs to one tenth of the esti- mate.
