On Table VIII there were <br />six years out of the ten year record, that more than 900 acre feet of water was <br />diverted from the reservoir. In years when more than 900 acre feet of water was <br />diverted from the reservoir it was not because the reservoir stored more water <br />than the capacity as allowed by the State Engineer, but merely refilling during <br />irrigation season. <br /> <br />Table IX lists the water commissioners flow records by month and year for a <br />ten year period. <br /> <br />TABLE IX <br /> <br /> Water Commissioner Records by Month and Year For <br /> Paradox Valley Canal and Reservoir Company in Acre Feet <br />.
