The storage records were not readily <br />available to determine a more accurate account than <br />this. <br />The small storage capacity being utilized at Clark <br />Lake, however, should not be confused to indicate a <br />lack of need or importance. without Clark Lake or some <br />other effective equili~er, irrigation of the farm land <br />below Clark would be difficult with the present system <br />of ditches and laterals. Alternatives to the use of <br />Clark to control this portion of the system were <br />explored and are pre!3ented in Chapter. VII. These <br />al ternatives complicate operation of the system and <br />provide no storage capacity to the system. <br />Water Oualitv. The water quality of Clark Lake is not <br />expected to be a problem. Due to the rapid turnover <br />and number of times the reservoir is turned over each <br />year, a build up of salts and other minerals is not <br />expected. The water supplying Clark is runoff from the <br />mountains and from the plains and should be of good <br />quality. No major pollution sources are upstream of <br />Clark Lake other than some cattle feed lots. These are <br />relatively small and scattered, however, and most of <br />the runoff is from pasture land and farm land. Some <br /> <br />IV-4 <br />
