<br />for watc:C' bE;: 'cv'ieen thG two t.ypos of irriGation use, <br />and a. uniform 'us e for pow()r. <br />It is apparent from the foregoing that any <br />allowance of water to Mexico, to be delivered as and <br />when she needs it, means that some quantity of water <br />must be retained behind Boulder Dam in winter, and <br />be delivered to Mexico in the peak months of the <br />smnmer. To the extent that the deliveries in <br />summer exceed the uniforTI1 rate of release of water <br />from Boulder, v/hi ch is the optimUs."1l for power pro- <br />duction, the excess deliveries will be of little <br />use for generation of power. This definitely re- <br />duces ~le earnings of the power plants and the <br />economic worth of the power contracts. <br />Such deficiencies in power production would <br />have to be made up by steam or diesel generation, <br />which would not only increase the cost to the power <br />contractors, but would also, in effoct, increase the <br />coot of their facilities constructed to utilize <br />BOl,lldel'" De,m power. Thls would be a pro tanto impair- <br />ment of the yower contracts and miGht interfere with <br />the ability of the contractors to make the payments <br />requlred to amortize the cost of the Dam and power <br />plant, Ylhich in turn would I'csul t in a loss to the <br />United Statos Government. <br /> <br />- 26 - <br />
