<br />The 0' nstructien and eperation of this project will ohange the regim~n

<br />maximum co ervation and use of the waters of the Colorado Rive:r. I!-nd'invqlve" ,;
<br />all ef the oonstruotion features heretofore listed. In addition thereto O'ertain
<br />supplement 1 oonstruotion will be neoessary. Thill will 11e for the, primary pur~
<br />pose, of pr s,erving insofar as possible the, riglTtsand inte1'ests dependent/on

<br />The projec . therefore, must be operated in suoh a !llll.rll1er as to most neariy,ef-
