<br />, <br /> <br />uppa r ri ver wi II still be benefic ia I to those lOVler down Stream, <br />~. in that there will fallow a reduotion in erosion and silt de- <br />posit. and a prevention of those extreme floods vhioh now occur <br />and which are sufficient to menace the st~bility of even the <br />most well designed and well built dam. As a consequence of this <br />we oonfidently expect that those who are interested primarily <br />in the lower river will nevertheless look with sympathy and <br />a~r,roval on all pro~er efforts which may be made to develop the <br />resources and particularily to equalize the flow of the upper <br /> <br />;~) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />reaches of the river. <br /> <br />\Ie. in Utah are naturally most interested in tte upper <br />reaches of the Colorado. and particularly in the Green River <br />and its tri buteries. \Ie belie ve that wha te ver may be done to <br />develo, the Green rtiver ~~d to put it to the maximum use both <br />as to irrigation and power production. \lill, as previously stat- <br />ed. benefit.all those who desire to ase the river lower down. <br />Flood control in itself is not of the most serious import- <br />anoe in Utah, except as the building of reservoirs aid in the <br />storage of water for irrigation and power development. However, <br />even at the risk of repetition, I would again point out that <br />every reservoir which is bui~t on the Green niver and its tri- <br />butsries reduces the flood oontrol problem on the lower river. <br /> <br />S.L. <br />
