<br />
<br />From: ' C-;'A. Anderson, Arizona Committee Member
<br />
<br />Subject: Quarterly Report, State of Arizona for 60-2 Meeting, June
<br />1960, Carson City, Nevada
<br />
<br />In addition to those activities in Arizona which will be
<br />contained in current reports by various Federal agencies, there is little
<br />new to report regarding progress of matters related to the work of this '-,
<br />Committee for the period March 1, to May 31, 1960.
<br />
<br />Stored Water Supplies
<br />
<br />Notwithstanding favorable winter precipitation and soil
<br />moisture conditions the Yield of streams to principal storage sites fell
<br />considerably below quantities generally expected. Spring flows have
<br />now subsided and, while total stored supply is generally above average,
<br />no carry-over storage is indicated except in Salt River reservoirs.
<br />
<br />Reports Pending
<br />
<br />Various matters of importance to the State ar:ethe subjects
<br />of reports recently completed, with early release expected. These
<br />reports promise to exert influence on future programs of'work and improve-
<br />ment affecting the development and administration of water resources within
<br />Arizona. Among thes e are:
<br />
<br />(1) Report of the Special Master in the case of Arizona v.
<br />California. The material lately released by the Special Master is now'
<br />receiving study by representatives of the affected States.
<br />
<br />(2) Reports by the Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of
<br />Reclamation on the feaSibility of certain improvements on the Gila River
<br />from the San Carlos ProJ ect upstream to the head of the Safford Valley.
<br />Release of these reports is expected soon. Meanwhile ne<;;otiations
<br />between upper and lower area waterusers are continuing in an effort to
<br />settle local differences with respect to future water use.
<br />
<br />(3) Report by Task Force, Interior Field Committee, on the
<br />effect of certain improvements constructed on San Simon Creek, Arizona.
<br />It is believed that this report, the release of which is expected about June
<br />15, will cast new light on the effect of construction for channel stabilization
<br />and flood flow detention on the San Simon and similar drainage areas.
