of getting in there and getting some informa- tion but in one year you can hardly hope to get enough information to do a real good job of design. I thilli, that Leo Gamble and Jim Ogilvie's office are really on the spot. No one is to blame; funds aren't available for a situation like this; but I think that some serious thought should be given by everyone to a condition of this kind where a project is in the mill and there is a good prospect of it being approved eventually, that some place along the line, from somewhere, we should be able to collect this information. It is a matter of financing and the Bureau of Reclamation, after authorization, put up the money to finance these stations. The Geological Survey is very limited; they have no authorization to step in and per- form work of this kind. The State of Colorado is limited by their appropriations. I I just wanted to point this out so that everyone can see the seriousness of something of this kind and realize the spot that it puts these people in when they start designing. They have, like I say, limited records for one year and a good deal of their design is going to have to be based on that. They can correlate records and have something to go on. Unfor- tunately we didn't get the peak runoff on all these stations. This is something that is pretty hard to do in anyone year in this par- ticular site when the peak happens to occur. We had a couple of men up there and I can't give them too much credit for the job they did in getting this information. I believe that Russ vfuiteman has furnished tentative figures of run- off to the Pueblo office of the Bureau so they do have something to go on and I certainly hope it is enough. I am sure that everyone should realize that they are handicapped in what they have to work with. I This past winter we worked on a report on mineral and water resources of Colorado at the request of Senator Allott. This report has been submitted and \~ill be published as a Senate
