<br /> <br />the creation of reservoirs, then of course the discharge from <br /> <br />that reservoir could be actually ascertained, the only difference <br /> <br />being there ,rould be evaporation loso immediately above the <br /> <br />point of discharge as compared with no evaporation loss in the <br /> <br />natural river. <br /> <br />MR. EMERSON: Then it would be just a caso of changing <br /> <br />the means of meaouroment? <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: Yos, and that is what led me in my sug- <br /> <br />gestion to the saying that if a reservoir or reservoirs were, <br /> <br />created by the erection of dams, a dam or dams, at any point' <br /> <br />between the mouth of the San Juan and ten miles below Lee's, <br /> <br />Ferry, then a certain condition s~ould obtain, it being oug- <br /> <br />gested that ten miles below Lee's[Ferry would cover the ter- <br /> <br />ritory within which any dams would be feasible. The canyon <br /> <br />drops'very rapidly beforo the ten miles, are reached and, in <br /> <br />fact, the principal dam sites are: immediately above Lee's Ferry. <br /> <br />MR. E}~RSON: Would it be p~actical to establish a gauging <br /> <br />, station below a possible dam, -- <br /> <br />MR. CARPE1ITER: I am advised they are not as accessible. I <br /> <br />am not familiar with the country, The Executive Secretary ,and <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />others made a trip of inspoction'thore so they are better inform- <br /> <br />ed than I. <br /> <br />MR, NORVIEL: Mr. Chairman, we are only here to assist, I <br /> <br />suppose, in this mattor. It is ,not our principal proposition, <br /> <br />but I may say that at present and for many years Lee 1 s Ferry has <br /> <br />been practically a mile above the confluence of the Paria with <br /> <br />13th - S.F. <br />6 <br /> <br />100 <br /> <br />100 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
