<br />lower basin may be served with water? <br /> <br />MR. A. P. DAVIS: Such a reservoir would be necessary if <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />this compact Hore entered into, of course, <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: And if the minimum wore reached of the <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />delivery, it would be neceGsary. <br /> <br />MR. A. P. DAVIS: Storage would be necessary in any event. <br /> <br />MR. NCRVIEL: I Hill ask if you hQd in mind the storage <br /> <br />and control of the floods of the river in the lower basin? <br /> <br />MR. A. P. DAVIS: Yes, in both. basins. Our upper develop_ <br /> <br />nent must largely proceed from storage as ,.ell as the develop_ <br /> <br />ment below, But it does contemplate the storage and control <br /> <br />of the floods in the lower basin, <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: It being necessary to construct a large <br /> <br />dam in the 10Hor river to take care of the floods to be deliver_ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ed to the 101ffir basin as its portion of the waters of the Color- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ado River, and on occasion perhaps of one, two or three years <br /> <br />1nlen no water of consequence may be added, what effect would <br /> <br />evaporation have on the quantity of water for use in the rec1ama- <br /> <br />tion of lands below? <br /> <br />MR. A. P. DAVIS: It would reduce it and under the compact <br /> <br />as proposed by Hr. Carpenter, it would be charged ngainst the <br /> <br />10Her basin as I understand it, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR, NORVIEL: Could you estimate the amount of that loss <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />by ovaporation? <br /> <br />MR. A. p, DAVIS: Yes, it can be estimated and I can.give <br /> <br />it to you in a feH minutes, very roughly. I have a table here <br /> <br />12th - S,F. <br />17 <br /> <br />87 <br /> <br />;;; <br />
