Combining the results of the average surface area per pond (fig. 8) and:
the available supply for pond diversion (fig. 9) yields the total pond;
'surface area that could be maintained from a given river diversion (fig. 10).'
'These relationships were computed by dividing the potential supply to ponds'
'(equation 14) by the average inflow to the ponds in order to obtain the num-,
ber of ponds. The total surface area is computed by multiplying the number
'of ponds times the average pond surface area (fig. 8). The total number of
'ponds in the model was limited to 75, and, thus, the curves in figure 10 have,
jl imits on the left side of the graph.
