PATTE 3ON: General Kramer, may I add just one thought <br /> to that? <br /> CHAIRMAN KRAMER: Certainly, Mr. Patterson. <br /> MR. PATTERSON: The point you bring up of the physical <br /> effect is one that might justify a little more elaboration'. <br /> It is this: <br /> The two states in dividing between them the waters of <br /> the Arkansas River are concerned with the waters that are <br /> used and usable for irrigation. The court has held that <br /> waters which can't be diverted are not to be considersid as <br /> usable. <br /> Now, we find that Caddoa affords an opportunity during <br /> its effective life to increase the usable water supplies of <br /> an interstate stream. The extent to which it may increase <br /> those usable water supplies depends, among other things, upon <br /> the capacity available for use for the conservation of flood <br /> waters, and therefore we have to have some very definite under- <br /> standing regarding how Caddoa will be operated before we can <br /> estimate the additional water to become available for use in <br /> the two states, and until that is shown, we can't make a <br /> division of either the total or that increment . <br /> II <br />
