IRELAND; Well, we know today or at the present time <br /> that Kansas has available for use more water than she needs <br /> under existing facilities, and needs, I mean, that are con- <br /> 0 <br /> struoted. The time might come when Kansas might open up <br /> several thousand more aores of land. <br /> MR. TATE: But Where could they get the water supply? <br /> It isn't there. <br /> MR. KNAPP: We couldn't get It by taking it away from <br /> Colorado. The only way they could get it would be by util- <br /> ising further what comes across the Stateline. <br /> But let us look at this problem from a slightly different <br /> angle. The engineering studies show that the average annual <br /> discharge across the Stateline for the 38-year period under <br /> study was 280,000 acre feet a year. Now, that supply is not <br /> going to be increased by virtue of this Compact. It is going <br /> to be decreased, and Kansas is going to get a lesser supply <br /> of water, but with somewhat better usability. We have in <br /> prospect ,to reduce the present flow over the Stateline ,these <br /> things: The prospective increased diversions upstream from <br /> Caddoa which are permitted in this Compact, the reservoir <br /> losses involved in storage in this Compact in John Martin <br /> Reservoir, and Whatever increased diversions might be made <br /> in Distriot 8?. <br /> So Kansas is going to get less water, is bound to get <br />
