Considerable groundwator is pumped in that area and in gen- <br /> <br /> <br />eral is used to supplemontsurface water divorsions. Examination of <br /> <br /> <br />stroamflow and n.iycrsion records at the state lino; Syracuee.. and <br /> <br /> <br />Garden City shaw periods of considerable rivor accrction below the state <br /> <br /> <br />line and also flood periods of great stroamfl~v losso For this study, <br /> <br /> <br />accretions bolovr tho state line were not considered available fc:' K~,nsas <br /> <br /> <br />ditch di.vors:Lcp.. un] recharge lesses were assumed to eccur below the <br /> <br /> <br />points ef diversien by Kansas ditches. Those assumptions do not uppoar <br /> <br /> <br />to be \li'lI'casonable and any error thus introduced is not considered <br /> <br /> <br />sorious. With John Martin Roservoi.r and an improved sUllUller vmter sup- <br /> <br /> <br />ply, pumping from .groundwater in tho Kansus irrigation aroa will <br /> <br /> <br />probably be reduced and the opportunity for greundwater recharge from <br /> <br /> <br />river flows would be reduced. Operation of John Martin Heservoir vrould <br /> <br /> <br />reduce the flood flows above Garden City and thereby reduce losses of <br /> <br /> <br />water now consumed in the river channel and adjacent flood plain aroas. <br />
