<br />. <br /> <br />"Yuma project, 135,000 acre-feet. There was some correction <br />there on acr8age. WG assumed the full irrigation of 67,300 acres, and <br />a return of 2 acre-feet per acre, again to maintain salt balance. <br />"Senator McFARLAND. Where is that now? <br />"Mr. TIPTON. Thal is Yuma, 135,000 acre-feet. <br />"Gila proj ect, 160, DO 0 acrGs. We reduced that to 2 1/2 acre-feet <br />per acre. Assuming a consumptive use of 3 1/2, ther8 would be a return <br />of 400,000 acre-fe8t. <br />"The seepage loss from the All-American Canal, 65,000 acre-feet. <br />That would be there under any condition. <br />"The central Arizona project, 330,000 acre-feet. We are using <br />more water in this condiLion on the Gila. <br />"Unused Gila River now, 100,000 acre-feet. <br />"De silting water at Imperial Dam, 100,000 acre-fe8t. <br />"A total of I, 130 (sic) acre-feet. <br />"There is just one othcr condition, Mr. Chairman, and that would <br />be the condition which woulcl contemplate no usc by ArIzona of main <br />stream water in central Arizona and the usc of practically the entire <br />amount of Arizona's sharc of Colorado River water on main stream <br />projects, including thc Gila project. <br />* * * <br /> <br />"Mr. TIPTON. . . . <br />"I will read this paragraph which is a paragraph from the r8port of <br />the conference engineers held last month. <br />'In the evcnt Arizona development occurs on the Gila <br />project and not in central Arizona, the return flow appearing <br />in the river below Imperial Dam will amount to approximat8ly <br />1,400,000 acrc-fcet per annum.' <br />"The details of that ~lir. Rider (sic) will testify lO, if you want the <br />breakdown. <br />"'Se-naTor-McT1\RTAND:--ASfOthese otner plans, itTSj ust a matter <br />of going over them wi'th you? <br />"Mr. TIPTON. Thc principle is the same. <br />"Senator McFARLAND. The principle is the same. It is just a <br />matter of percentage which we could sit down and figure out from the <br />other. If I did not agrec with you, I could figure it out on the same <br />percentage? <br />"Mr. TIPTON. That is correct. <br />"As to thG condition Mr. Lowry testified to, of the 1,130,000 acre- <br />feet, there would be 300,000 acre-feetusomething less than a thirdu <br />that would have been in the category we were taiking about from central <br />Arizona. If there had been none of that return, there would remain <br />800,000 acre-feet under this assumption." <br /> <br />-25- <br />
