<br /> <br />the minimum, to allocate the drought, if I may so term <br /> <br />it, among the people of the entire basin, much the same as we <br /> <br />allocate the 1;aters in fat years. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: In that vein of thought, is it not feasible <br /> <br />to determine Hhat water is being consumed in the upper basin <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />and to say something on this line, _ that an amount of water <br /> <br />shall pass Lee's Fer~J as a minimUIa equal to one-half the <br /> <br />total flow of the upper basin ? <br /> <br />MR. C"RPENTER: I fear not. It is possible, but there are <br /> <br />so many streams that the problem becomes very complex. You have <br /> <br />to take into consideration, as I understand, both the infloHs <br /> <br />and the diversions. This involves a pretty complicated mach- <br /> <br />inery Hhich resolves itself into a matter within the keeping <br /> <br />and the conscience of probably a few men in the territory. <br /> <br />If we had one stre~~, like 1~ do after we get to the <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />canyon, it would be a very simple matter but after you proceed <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />above the canyon the river spreads out like a fan, with all the <br /> <br />fibers of a fan, and those branches in turn spread out and they <br /> <br />in turn spread out, and so it goes. I Hish it 'dere feasible, <br /> <br />It is possible. I might point to suggestions from these experts,- <br /> <br />-not pre summing to trespass upon their ground in saying ~lhat I <br /> <br />have,- but Mr. A. P. Davis and Mr. Meeker could doubtless inform <br /> <br />us somewhat along that line. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />NR.
