<br />memory. I haven't seen the figures for some time but from <br /> <br />memory between four and five hundred thousand acres. Perhaps <br /> <br />you have it in'mind, Mr. Norviel. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: Something over 400,000 acres I think. <br />MR. A. P. DAVIS: ' Before that is entered upon, it would <br /> <br />necessitate another thing which is discussed somewhat in my <br /> <br />report and there is some data on it - that those figures af- <br /> <br />fect the measurements at Yuma in different amounts throughout <br /> <br />these years. The amount :varies and there ,Iould have to be a <br /> <br />presumptive increase applied to those figures at Yuma, and they <br /> <br />,lOuld all be increased by the amount of the use above. For <br /> <br />example, the Salt River reservoir, the large increase of con- <br /> <br />sumption due to irrigation from, it didn't take place until six <br />or eight years had elapsed. That applies .also. to, the Upper <br />Basin. The consumptive use in:the Lower Basin is much greater <br /> <br />per acre than in the Upper basin, probably by fifty or sixty <br /> <br />per cent, By the consumptive use, I mean per acre,. The con- <br /> <br />sumptive use in total would be less so that they would not <br /> <br />quite balance. The flow at Yuma, to be increased by that <br /> <br />amount, would have to be increased more than it lIould be dimin- <br /> <br />ished, <br /> <br />MR. EMeRSON: Mr, Davis, you have a certain acreage and <br /> <br />a consumptive ues of 1-6/10 acre fee~ for that acreage. <br />that include' the diversion to Imperial Valley? <br />MR. A.P. DAVIS:' No, ,that was only the Upper Basin. <br /> <br />Did <br /> <br />MR. EMERSON: How many acres? <br /> <br />12th - S.F. <br />12 <br /> <br />82 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />82 <br />
