The designs and <br />estimates presented herein have been computed on the basis of oxisting <br />data and are, therofore, of rough preliminary nature.

Roservoirs. This weuld mako water stored in tho Cureoc.nti <br />Reservoir availablo to tho Eastorn Slope, to bo usod for irrigation <br />and powor dovelopmcnt. If this is dono, the addition!ll 90 porcent of <br />tho cost of tho Curooo.nti Dam would bo chargeable to tho thximum <br />Physioal Development. The total cost of this resorvoir ho.s boon osti- <br />matod at ~52,800,OOO, of which ~5,2eO,OOO was chargod tc the lhximum <br />Grnvity Divorsion. leaving $47,520;000 us tho additional amount chnrgo~ <br />ablo to the Maximum Physico.l Devolopmcnt. . <br /> <br />Blue Mos,," Reservoir.-~Tho drJnsito is leco.ted at a narrow point <br />in tho Gunnison RJ.ver cunyon r.bout 4 miles west of the town of So.pinero <br />in soc.. 5, T. 4B N., R.
