The tabulated data, <br />derived from both recorded and estimated flows, were used in water sup- <br />ply studies made for this report. The river flows were adjusted to <br />allow for upstream diversions as explained in footnotes on the tables. <br /> <br />Quality of water <br /> <br />Flows of Williams Fork River, derived from a high mountain water- <br />shed, have been demonstrated by past use to be of high quality for irri- <br />gation. Chemical analyses of the water were not made in the course of <br />project investigations. <br /> <br />Irrigation diversion requirements <br /> <br />Estimates of diversion requirements for Parshall project lands were <br />based on consumptive use requirements of agricultural lands in relation <br />to climatological data. Consumptive use determinations made for the 1954 <br />report on the Cliffs-Divide project were used in the present studies. <br />Diversion reCJ.uirements were developed from the consumptive use data in <br />a manner consistent with current project plans. Allowances were made <br /> <br />10 <br />
