And realizing also <br /> <br />'I': <br /> <br />utilization of the resources, both for downstream water use, <br /> <br />,I like has been said, that the flood control aspect had some <br /> <br />,: <br /> <br />c. <br /> <br /> );1 <br /> : i <br /> !~ <br />'R <br /> i , <br />- <br /> I i <br /> I' <br /> ,,' <br /> Iti ii <br /> \, <br /> i <br /> I' <br /> I!J !: <br /> I' <br /> i: <br /> <br /><~, , i <br />",:,.)

And of course, the very fact that <br /> <br />Yuma has had very peaceful years during the time since the <br /> <br />" <br />'; <br /> <br />dam has been built in the interim, is evidence that the <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />system is working. But also realizing that sooner or later <br /> <br />we get to the place when any flood control project to where <br /> <br />you have to make releases -- in fact, we're going through <br /> <br />that experience on the Gila right now in which we've had a <br /> <br />tremendous inflow of water from the upstream sources and <br /> <br />no one has ever seen anything like this in recent time. And <br /> <br />we're suffering some damage from it. <br /> <br />And the point I would like to emphasize is the fact <br /> <br />over and over again, we have to realize that the only reason <br /> <br />that we're here today is because this facility is upstream <br /> <br />above us and the operation in my estimation should have <br /> <br />prime consideration above almost everything else down here, <br /> <br />because it really is our very life blood. Without it we <br /> <br />just wouldn't have any resource to survive on. Now, <br /> <br />realizing since the dam was built a great many things have <br /> <br />happened as far as the development of the society is <br /> <br />concerned and there has been considerable encroachment on <br /> <br />the banks of the River. And this to me is a little bit <br /> <br />incomprehensible. I have difficulty trying to reconcile this <br />. <br /> <br />:i <br /> <br />-----._~--------~-------------------.. - <br /> <br />:,IIIII,I"III'li1IftJl" <br />
