<br />.' .. <br /> <br />- 5 - <br /> <br />Department of Agriculture report should give consideration to such a possibility <br />in the headwater areas of the l"ountain River Watershed. <br /> <br />In view of the above, we believe that the report does not evaluate the effect <br />of the proposed program upon the average streamflow of the Arkansas Watershed or <br />upon the yield of water available for irrigation and municipal water use. <br /> <br />The report states that the relationship of the proposed program to the <br />provisions of the Arkansas River Compact between the States of Colorado and Kansas <br />has been considered and it appears that the recommended program when fully in- <br />stalled would not significantly affect the terms of that Compact. Since, as <br />previously' stated, the report does not evaluate the effects of the proposed <br />program upon water yield, it is difficult to see how this statement with re- <br />gard to impact upon the Arkansas River Compact can be substantiated. <br /> <br />H.
