POWER
The purpose of this report is to present the IRRIGATION
facts regarding available water supply and all COLORADO R.
known dam sites on Colorado River between
Cataract Canyon, Utah, and Parker, Arizona, and
to show the relative value of these dam sites.
To determine the relative value of the dam
sites, a comprehensive plan of development for
Colorado River below the mouth of Green River
is presented that will provide for the maximum
practicable utilization of the potential power,
maximum preservation of water for irrigation,
effective elimination of flood menace, and
adequate, solution of the silt problem.

SURVEY
The water temperature of western Colorado
streams at lower elevations is more suitable
for cold water fish species such ~as trout.
Channel catfish migrate upstream during the
high water periods in most of these streams,
but migrate downstream to find suitable spawning
areas. This report recommends that the Colorado,
Yampa, and San Juan rivers be stocked and
studied further.
