<br /> <br />as you suggest, would there not be a great loss of that water <br /> <br />because of the inability to hold it? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~iR. A. P. DAVIS: Unless a larger reservoir than that was <br /> <br />provided, there Hould. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />NR. NORVIE1: HOH large a reservoir "ould you say Has <br /> <br />necessary , <br /> <br />MR. A. P. DAVIS: I should say that a reservoir with a <br /> <br />capacity of 24,000,000 acre feet Hould.be the "ise one to build, <br /> <br />4,000,000 of "hich I assumed Hould be purely for flood control, <br /> <br />the balance of 20,000,000 Hould entirely control the river as <br /> <br />it has occurred in history, and these flood conditions, I am <br /> <br />assuming, Hould be outside of past experience, <br /> <br />MR. NORVIE1: Isn't it a fact that during several years <br /> <br />it has floHed more than that amount? <br /> <br />fa <br /> <br />MR. A. P.

NORVIE1: Under the conditions imposed by this draft, <br /> <br />"ould it be safe to deplete the quantity of .iUter more than <br /> <br />one-half in anyone year in the reservoir? <br /> <br />NR. A. P. DAVIS: Yes. If you never deplete the reservoir <br /> <br />more than one-half, it means you have a larger reservoir than <br /> <br />you need. To use a reservoir economically you Tffilst assume that <br /> <br />you empty it sometimes, that is, empty the storage portion of it. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: Nr. Davis, a drought in the lwer terri- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />tory is indicative of a drought at the source is it not; so <br />drought <br /> <br />the Upper basin suffers by that <br /> <br />as Hell as the 10Her <br /> <br />basin, does it not? <br /> <br />12th - S.F, <br />19 <br /> <br />89 <br />
