<br />24 <br /> <br />3'> <br />tJ <br /> <br />prevent the District from diverting water to the full capacity <br /> <br /> <br />of the All-American Canal if and when water over and above the <br /> <br /> <br />quanti ty apportioned to it hereunder is available." <br /> <br /> <br />There may be some interpretation as to what is meant <br /> <br /> <br />by "available," whether, for instance, sluicing operations belcw <br /> <br />. . <br />Imperial Dam come before this or not. Those are provisions <br />that I don't feel qualified to construe because this contract, <br />while it is with the United states, is under the jurisdiction <br />of the Department of the Interior. <br />MR. CARSON: Then under this proposal, at what point <br />would the Imperial Irrigation District have control of water <br />going through the power plant toward Mexico? <br />MR. CLAYTON: If they have control of the Canal under, <br />of course, regulations promulgated by the United States, <br />theoretically in any event, they can divert all that water thai <br />they don't need for their own purposes to go down below. They <br /> <br />-- <br />can divert it through the power plant and f~ thence into the <br />Wasteway, and then the United States Section will determine <br />how much of it will be returned to the River through the Rock- <br />wood Heading and how much of it will be permitted to go through <br />the Alamo Canal into Mexico. The control, of course,would be <br />at the Hanlon Heading. <br />MR. CARSON: Would it be possible at the Hanlon Head- <br />ing, then, to divert water back to the River and at the same <br />time divert part of the water into the Alamo Canal in Mexico? <br />MR. CLAYTON: The engineers so advise me, yes, sir. <br />MR~ CARSON:' They think that could be done? <br />
