<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />!'.\.t!. E~C'V,,3: If the lovler Sta.tes are :fL'e)E.red to build large <br />reservoirs, they are doing a large benefit to the u,per states - <br />the lower States have so~e sort of right - I think it is right that <br />We Bhould take into consideration the fact that there ere several <br />States involved in this question? <br />MiL UHRICH: Permit me to SllY thEt in these discussions the <br />fact must not be lost sight of that any future development on the <br />Colorado Rh'er System must be b~' a, storage eS>Jecie.lly on the lower <br />river, and the building of the Boulder Canyon Jam will not, in <br />my opinion, effect the potential riz,hts of the State of GtE.h at <br />this time. It vdml store the water for the benefit of the lower <br />River and when the additional land that Utab. cun bring in irrig- <br />ation, is brought ,in, eventuhlly the water table will be brought <br />to such an equilibrium that the return flow will get back into <br />the stream and be subject to storage, and will not effect the <br />rights on the lower river. <br />MR. HOOV~R: You I;ould be in favor of Utah supporting the low- <br />er States in the construction of the Boulder Dam? <br />MR. Ui.,J.JICH: I see no disadvantage in that. <br />MR. NO]VI~L: Supposing that under future economic and scien- <br />tific conditions you so develop that you can take all the water <br />from the Green River and apply to your land so that there should <br />be none to go to the Dam? <br /> <br />S.L. <br />
