<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. , <br /> <br />if you waro invostigating tho water supply 2vailable to a <br /> <br />given contemplated project, you would not be content to take <br /> <br />a three year record as thiJ basis i'n your detormination of <br /> <br />water supply becauso that three ycar record might have been in <br /> <br />3, years ef unusually heavy flow. Neither would it be fair to <br /> <br />force that project to yield to the calamity of taking three <br /> <br />years of low flow or two lo~s and one avoragov In ordor to <br /> <br />get the amount of wator available f'or say the San Carlos <br /> <br />Project, you would want to take the flow of the Gila River for <br /> <br />a longoI' poriod than 3 yoars.. Three yoar~ _is more liko a spot <br /> <br />measuremont. It is hardly fair, any.3 ycar reeord. <br /> <br />1.ill. NORVII:1; I think you arc talking about onc thing <br /> <br />and. I am thinking about something .else" I am thinking about <br /> <br />.this period which you speak bf.as ten years. <br /> <br />1m. CA1D"r7E11; Tha t average is predetermined in your mind. <br /> <br />.Iillo CARPENTER~ My suggestion is - we arc workinG from <br /> <br />Yuma, we set a definite figure, and then say that we will make <br /> <br />an annual average delivery over any ten year period for that <br /> <br />amount of watGr at Lee's Ferryo Somo years low and sarno years <br /> <br />higher, but in the sum total of the flow in ten yoars it would <br /> <br />bo an average amount" <br /> <br />1m, CA1DHE11; Hay I try to state that so I can understand <br /> <br />it? I think your idoa~ as I get it, is that wo havo pre- <br /> <br />determined the average flow say to be 6 million acro feot, and <br /> <br />during any ten years that follow from now on, the upper basin <br /> <br />would deliver to tho lower basin 60 million acro feot, but in <br /> <br />17 <br /> <br />15th-S .1". <br />17 <br />
