final effect of the well on the stream. So
to some extent, Mr. Vandemoer, this was used
last year. However, we look to any refine-
ments. We're hoping, of course, that the
districts will be able to work out something
on a mutual agreement situation until the
studies are completed and possible legisla-
tion drafted to assist the integration of the
system. "

"In the South Platte, I might comment,we
are about a year behind in our data collection
phase which allows these kind of predictions.
By the end of this field season we will have
the data. By the beginning of the next irri-
gation season then we would be in a position
to hand this over to the State Engineer's
office to use as he sees fit."

"Thank you."

"Mr. Chairman."

"Mr. Chairman."

"I think Craig was first."

"Mr. Moulder. you touched very lightly
on this subject of recharging underground
aquifers through pumping. Have you gotten
into that far emough to know how expensive
it would be and how practical it would be?
I think that's the thing that should concern
Colorado very much. To me it has a lot of
possibilities.

One of the reasons I asked you this
question, I was down in Arizona recently and
I don't know if you people know it but they
are running water down the Salt River.
They've got too much water and I said to
them 'Why don't you pump some of that back
into the wells?'. They said they had checked
into it and it can't be done. So that's the
reason I asked you, Mr. Moulder."
