<br />o <br />CO <br />CO <br />C-J <br /> <br />The values in colUflll (2) 00 net show this high flow in <br /> <br />years of large runoff because it ran to ~ste ane was not fiverted, <br /> <br />which seems also to be true for ye9.rs of average runoff. For y',ars <br /> <br />of low runoff however bnth sets of values agree more closely, as <br /> <br />would be expected when practically all the floed w9.ter was used. <br /> <br />The values in cclumn (3) shew that if t:iversic.n is properly regulated <br /> <br />before the end, of the storage season the res8rvnir should be filled <br /> <br />every year except 1934 and possibly 192.5 ane, 1931 becausG these <br /> <br />values result from unregulatec eiversion. <br /> <br />Storage Operations <br /> <br />By cc,Llparison of the proje ct dercanG. as shown in T'lble 4 <br /> <br />with the diversions after the "break" of the oiversions' curves <br /> <br />for the years 1921 to 1937 (see Plate 3) it is apparent that the <br /> <br />storage reauiroment for a full water su~ply, exceeds the reser- <br /> <br />voir capacity of 7,000 acre-feet by a substantial QIDount in ell <br /> <br />years,' and tlllit the reservdr c'lnnot provide ", complete water <br /> <br />supply for the present irrigated area.
