they can use it. So all we are talking about is <br />more efficiently storing that same water at that <br />same point or higher upstream and releasing it <br />under a pattern of efficient use rather than let- <br />ting it seep out there in whatever pattern it <br />happens to take at the moment." <br />MR. BARRETT: <br />"What I was trying to determine was to what <br />extent the Narrows Reservoir would accomplish <br />that." <br />MR. KNIGHTS: <br />"That's what I was going to bring out, Joe. <br />I think Joe's question is that water that is <br />escaping, could it be captured in Narrows Reservoir <br />and thereby that portion of the water conserved as <br />well there - or at least conserved, perhaps I <br />shouldn't have said as well - conserved there as <br />similarly to it being conserved in the Weld County <br />site ?" <br />MR. BARKLEY: <br />"You catch it at either place, as far as that <br />goes." <br />MR. KNIGHTS: <br />"Yes. The question is, where do you want it ?" <br />MR. BARKLEY: <br />"That's Joe's question - where is the most <br />efficient place to put it ?" <br />MR. KNIGHTS: <br />"Wasn't that your question, Joe? What you <br />were trying to bring out ?" <br />MR. BARRETT: <br />"That was my question. Because if it can be <br />handled at the Narrows as well as at Weld County, <br />in view of the fact there is about $12 million <br />difference in cost, I think Narrows is what we <br />should consider." <br />MR. OSBORNE: <br />"That's where the big sticker is." <br />MR. BARRETT: "It does leave, obviously, the area between <br />the two reservoirs to be served by exchange rather <br />than by direct release and, of course, that is a <br />problem, I know. And that is the reason why we <br />have enlarged this to a rather comprehensive study <br />of the whole South Platte Valley, including up- <br />stream storage at Two Forks or some other site." <br />-24- <br />
