Table 4 shows an average vater <br /> <br />requireDent of 103 second-feet in ~ll1e and 110 secan a-feet in <br /> <br />July. The Duch higher diversions of the past represent an effort <br /> <br />to store in the soil water enough to offset the subsequent deficiency <br /> <br />of stream flow. With a reservoir in operatien such rates of diver- <br /> <br />sion as those of the past should not be necessary. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Both the "breakll in the diversion curves for all the <br /> <br />years anc the stream flow hydrographs for 1935, 1936 and 1937 <br /> <br />{: <br />, <br /> <br />,:i! <br /> <br />e~phasize that streaD flow falls off very abruptly from the peak <br /> <br />"1 <br />~ <br />~: <br /> <br />of the flooa.
