<br />Board it was a great thrill to all of them <br />to know that by hard work and team work these <br />projects can be accomplished. I also thank <br />Bert Hanna and his paper for publicizing that <br />project so well during the spring months. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Is there anyone here from the U. S. G. <br /> <br />S.?" <br /> <br />MR. ODELL: <br /> <br />nYes.lI <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />"Fine. Good to see you. Would you make <br />a report please?" <br /> <br />MR. ODELL: <br /> <br />'''l'his is something that has been added to <br />the reporting. I believe this is the first <br />time. My name is Odell, District Engineer for <br />the Surface Water Branch of the Geological <br />Survey in Denver. <br /> <br />The Survey is concerned with basic data <br />primarily and the report here today will be <br />the water resources division only. There are <br />other divisions. You are probably aware of <br />the topography and geologic divisions particu- <br />larly. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Our division is divided into four <br />branches, Surface Water, Ground Water, Quality <br />of Water and one we call General Hydrology <br />which deals primarily with special problems. <br />Our work is financed under three chief setups. <br />One is the co-op program in which state or <br />local agencies finance 50 percent of the work <br />ordinarily and the federal government the other <br />50 percent. Occasionally there isn't that <br />balance in financing if the federal interest <br />does not justify it. Second is financial aid <br />from other federal agencies such as the Corps <br />of Engineers, and the Bureau of Reclamation. <br />They finance 100 percent projects in which they <br />have special detailed interests. The third is <br />what we call federal financing in which federal <br />Geological Survey funds are furnished 100 per- <br />cent for the projects. Here in Colorado all <br />three methods of financing are in effect. <br />
