<br />and conditions there. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: .!hat do you mean by "there"? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />NR. CARPENTER: In the Lower division, <br /> <br />NR. NORVIEL: Has any estimate of the loss by evaporation <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />and percolation between Leels Ferry and the point of use taken <br /> <br /> <br />into account in arriving at the estimation of 6,264,000 acre <br /> <br />feet? <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: No. I understand there is a loss in that <br /> <br />section, but that 1,as an unknown quantity. <br /> <br />NR. NORVIEL: I have one more question I will ask but I <br /> <br />think it has already been answered. Is it intended in the <br /> <br />draft of agreement to cover only the unappropriated water or <br /> <br />the whole of the water in the basin both appropriated and un_ <br /> <br />appropriated? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: The whole of the water of the basin. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: Nay I ask a question there? The plan con- <br /> <br />ceives a reconstruction of the river before any diversions .TeTe <br /> <br />made at all - conceives a sort of fifty-fifty division of the <br /> <br />river as it was before 1~lite men began to divert it? <br /> <br />HR. CARPEnTER: It 1-Tould probably resuJ. t in that conclusion. <br /> <br />MR. A. P. DAVIS: The irrigation in the Upper Basin is now <br /> <br />about 1,530,000 acres. The consumptive use of ,~ter on that <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />area is about 1.54 acre feet per acre, and the amount consumed <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />in that basin would be the product of those two figures. On <br /> <br />the Gila, including the Salt River, there is about 400,000 acres <br /> <br />of land irrigated; I guess something over that, speaking from <br /> <br />12th - S.F, <br />11 <br /> <br />81 <br /> <br />~ <br />
