The run-off has, however, notbeen sufficient to form a well-defined channel through DiamondVaUey. The soil throughout this valley seems to consist chiefly of coarse,sandy alluvium derived from the adjacent granitic slopes. If waterin ample quantity can be obtained for irrigation, these lands shouldprove well adapted to fruit growing. QTJALITY OF WATER. Analyses or laboratory assays were made of water from 21 wellsin the Hemet area, and a sample of water from the Hemet canalwas also tested for comparison with the ground-water supplies. Theresults of the chemical examinations are given in the table oppositepage 36. The analysis of the water of Hemet canal shows it contains only 170parts per million of sohds in solution.
