<br />$,~ <br />'I',,;~(;i7 <br /> <br />that are made during April and May would not be so high as at present, <br /> <br />and those made during July and August would be higher. Such ohange in <br /> <br />the monthly distribution of diversions should result in a oorresponding <br /> <br />ohange in the monthly distribution of the return flow. However, suoh <br /> <br />probable ohange was not t~en into aooount in making the analysis of <br /> <br />the probabl~ effeot of the proposed San Luis Valley development on the <br /> <br />water supply for the lHddle Rio Grande Conservanoy Distriot, the values <br /> <br />in the above table being used. <br /> <br />On page 222 to 225, Volume No. I, of the Report of the Chief <br /> <br />Engineer on the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy Distriot appears a table <br /> <br />entitled "Operation El Vado Reservoir." The table gmves the estimated <br /> <br /> <br />operation from 1897 to 1927, inolusive. The third oolumn of the table <br /> <br />gives the estimated Buokman flow under oonditions existing on the river as <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />of 1928, whioh oonditions still exist. The manner of oorrecting the reoorded <br /> <br />flaw at Buokman for estimated depletions above Buokman is desoribed on <br /> <br />pages 216 to 219 of the above mentioned Report. The operation of the <br /> <br />reservoir is worked out on the basis of the following demand at Buokman <br /> <br />for the lands of the Middle Rio Grande Conservanoy Distriot, as given <br /> <br />in Table No. 39 on page 214 of the Middle Rio Grande Report. <br /> <br />Irrigation ~eason Demand <br />At Buokman Aore Feet <br />9,771 <br />83,187 <br />91,229 <br />93,147 <br />98,272 <br />70,418 <br />33,728 <br />479,752 <br /> <br />c ': <br /> <br />r: ("\ >', <br />t...J- <br /> <br />Month <br />Maroh <br />April <br />May <br />June <br />July <br />August <br />September' <br />Total <br /> <br />-26- <br />
