<br />, <br /> <br />-4- <br /> <br />(9) Direot f'lood damages'to orops, farm land and improvements, ir- <br />rigation faoilities, highways and bridges are evaluated, and indireot losses <br />due to floods, estimated. Among the direot damage8, oaving banks is listed <br />with the oomment tmt it is one of the major souroes of damage, but, sinoe <br />oaving also ooours at less than bankful stages, no segregation of damage <br />oould be made, and no item has, b~en entered for damages from this 8ouroe. <br />Beoause of laok of information with whioh to evaluate indirect losses, suoh <br />losses have been assumed to equal the oaloulateddireot losses. <br /> <br />ESTIMATED AVERAGE ANNUAL FLOOD LOSSES <br /> <br />Feature I Looation , <br />" , <br /> ,Badito to Head of , End of Canyon Seo- I Total Annual <br /> , Canyon Seotion , tion to Mouth I Losses <br /> , ~ I , I , <br />Crop Loss I 100 , 300 , 400 <br />Damage to Farm Land , , <br />and Improvements , 200 , 100 , 300 <br />Irrigation Headworks I 810 , 1,250* , 2,060 <br />Highways and Bridges**1 650 , 400 , 1,050 <br />Total Direot , I <br />Annual Losses I 1,760 , 2,050 , 3,810 ' <br /> 1 I , <br />Total Indireot I , <br />Annual Losses I 1,760 I 2,050 I 3.810 <br /> , . , <br /> . 4,100 7,620 <br />Total Annual Losses, 3,520 , <br /> , , <br /> <br />..

Several small dam sites were reoommended by the <br />looal people for investigation. <br /> <br />(11) Army Engineer studies indioate that there are three logioal <br />dam-sites for flood oontrol arid water storage, at Badito, hear Mustang, and <br />at the oonfluenoe of the Huet'fano and Cuohara Rivers. The report states, <br />"that owing to limited flood oontrol benefits, and to the small supplementary <br />storage oapaoity to be obtained, the oon8truction of a dam at the Badito <br />site would not be eoonomioll.lly jusbified. Studies also indiQate that a dam <br />at the oonfluenoe site would not be praotioable owing to unfavorable foun- <br />dation oondition." <br />
