of course, we have to have the water supply to <br />put in the things and secondly, then our site and <br />that sort of thing must be determined by what we <br />want to do with the water unless we resort to <br />pumping units or something of that kind. That is <br />the basis that we are on. If we go too far down= <br />stream with our site, then we are in the position <br />that we can't exchange upstream for the simple <br />reason that the water is not there to exchange <br />with at the time of need. And if we say well, <br />we'll have in the future a larger return flow on <br />the river in the fall months, that is true. You <br />might be able to make a larger exchange during <br />the winter months when it's feasible. But then <br />you're operating through reservoirs and that sort <br />of thing that are 25% to 40% efficient relatively, <br />and you've lost your advantage very quickly. In <br />other words, we can't hold it only just a short <br />period of time and get full advantage out of it. <br />I am reminded a little bit of the days when we <br />had Model T Fords and one time I was driving from <br />the western slope on up to Eagle and the thing <br />went dry. I had one can that had some holes in <br />it, in the bottom, and I was about 30 or 40 feet <br />from the stream. I had to run like the dickens <br />to get that thing filled up with water with that <br />leaky can. It is just about the same situation <br />we have with our reservoirs." <br />MR. GILDERSLEEVE: "Thank you, Mr. Osborne. <br />I'll go back now to Mr. Sloan, if he has any <br />comments or anything to add to what Mr. Osborne <br />has said." <br />MR. SLOAN: "Well, I believe that Cecil was recommending <br />a reservoir site higher up on the river. Isn't <br />that right, Cecil ?" <br />MR. OSBORNE: "Yes. I think it is a must that the reservoir <br />site be high enough to serve by gravity both the <br />Riverside and the Bijou systems. I'd go a little <br />further in that thing if it was possible that a <br />series of reservoirs on the tributaries that would <br />accomplish the purpose would still do the job. <br />But apparently with the limitation of sites and <br />the possibility of not being able to control in <br />mo <br />
