<br />27 <br /> <br /> <br />0042 <br /> <br />southwest of Scott City. A reservoir at this point would control <br /> <br /> <br />flood flows of White Woman Creek and provide secondary control for <br /> <br /> <br />water imported from the Arkansas River. Releases could be niade at <br /> <br /> <br />a rate which would permit recharge of ground water either by seepage <br /> <br /> <br />from the stream channel or by spreading. If desired the diversion <br /> <br /> <br />canal from the Arkansas River could be constructed with sufficient <br /> <br /> <br />capacity to permit diversion of some of the infrequent flood flows <br /> <br /> <br />in the Arkansas River which would spill from the main stem reservoir. <br /> <br />Bear Creek <br />A rather extensive shallow ground water area is located in <br />northwestern Grant County west and north of Ulyses, Kansas. The <br />area is traversed on the northern edge by Bear Creek from which the <br />aquifer is, in part, recharged. Considerable ground water irriga- <br />tion has developed in the area. The surplus flows of the Arkansas <br />River could be diverted to the Bear Creek drainage and supplement <br />the water available for ground water recharge. As shown on exhibit <br />8 releases could be made from Syracuse Reservoir into a canal flowing <br />in a southeasterly direction about ~5 miles to the Bear Creek drain- <br />age. The canal would discharge into a tributary of Little Bear <br />Creek at a point about 15 miles northwest of Ulyses. The terminus <br />of the canal. would be about two or three miles upstream from the <br />shallow water area. If desirable the canal could be constructed <br />with sufficient capacity to permit the diversion of part of theeinfrequent flood flows which would be passed through the Syracuse <br />Reservoir. <br />
