Tipton, Engineering Consultant <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Gentlemen: <br /> <br />I am enclosing with this note a report entitled -Water <br />Supply of the Western Slope of Colorado., composed of two parts: <br />(1) An estimate of the supply and an estimate of the requirements <br />based on certain assumptions. and (2) an Appendix which shows <br />several,estimates of supply, three of which have been printed in <br />Conqressional hearinqs during the past two years. <br /> <br />Inasmuch as all of the printed estimates disaqreed by a wide <br />margin, I have endeavored to form one based, in a larqe measure, on <br />the Hill Report and to clearly bring out the main differenoes in the <br />several estimates. The conclusions in the Hill Report are based <br />largely on the data collected by the U. S. Geological Survey and <br />the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation. <br /> <br />I am sure that we are all cognizant of the difficulties in- <br />volved in passing Reclamation legislation. These difficulties are <br />increased when the projects considered approach a subsidization of <br />nearly 100 per cent. For this reason, 1 hav, not included in my <br />water supply estimate those requiring a Subsldization greater than <br />that indicated. This does not mean that the projects requirinq <br />heavy subsidization are entirely outside the pale. Further study <br />and re-arJangement may improve them. On the other hand, inasmuch as <br />the data is all from reconnaissance reports, a feasibility report <br />(detailed study) may in some cases weaken considerably the position <br />of a few projects. <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br />.~ <br /> <br />Ivan C.
