It is my thought <br /> that our definition should conform to the terms generally <br /> accepted by the courts. 0 <br /> MR. PATTERSON: Are you asking now the attorneys or <br /> 0 <br /> the engineers what the courts do? <br /> MR. KNAPP: Well, I really was asking the attorneys N, <br /> i <br /> to express an opinion. That was not exclusive, however. <br /> MR. PATTERSON: They don' t seem to comment. Is there <br /> any legal difference? Could you use either one provided you <br /> define it in your own document whatever way you intended to <br /> use it, natural flow, as opposed to any water? <br /> I think just by way of starting the conversation on <br /> it, the idea is when you say Arkansas River water you mean <br /> or intend to mean its water that originates within the natural <br /> drainage basin of the Colorado River, yet the records of the <br /> measurement of the flow of the river include whatever water <br /> is flowing in the Arkansas River. Therefore it includes any <br /> water that may have been imported from other drainage basins <br /> into the Arkansas River. <br /> In other words, the official reporting agencies don' t <br /> try to segregate the native water, as we term it, from the <br /> foreign or imported water. <br /> Mi. VIDAL: Well, first, George, you have in mind <br /> whether we make a distinction between the words natural and <br /> native? <br />
