<br />r.... <br />l' <br />C1,) <br />C'J <br /> <br />There is sone uncertainty as to the total diversions before <br /> <br />the last (ate Of storage, which are merely estimated. The tot~l, <br /> <br />if correct, reflects only incidentally ~~y excess of water which ~my <br /> <br />have flowed to waste, some of which might be storable. The relation <br /> <br />shown by Curve 4, Plate 4, between total diversions prior to the <br /> <br />end of storago and the Quantity of storable water sh~uld be a <br /> <br />minimun estimate of water storable, and to that extent useful as a <br /> <br />comparison with tho values dete~ined by the usa of the other curves <br /> <br />shown on Plato 4. <br /> <br />Since 1935 W8S a year of high and abnormally carly runoff <br /> <br />and C'iversion , the actual value of total diversions shown with <br /> <br />CUrve 4 requires acjustr'lent, otherwise stor:tble flow in years of <br /> <br />high but later runoff will be undervalued. In 1935 the s~ring rise <br /> <br />started nearly a month before May 17, th0 average cate of that rise <br /> <br />for the years 1921 to 1937.
