<br /> <br />NR. A. P. DAVIS: Not entirely. I agree ~Iith Mr. Carpenter <br /> <br />about that. Hhile it is possible of being presUmed, it requires <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />such a long series of observations and study of those obser- <br /> <br />vations afterwards that the results would be too little to be <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />of consequence or be of use at that <br /> <br />~ . <br />l.JJ.me. <br /> <br />You ~Iant it at the <br /> <br />time that you start making these measurements and you wouldn't <br /> <br />have it for months and perhaps a year aftenJards, because of <br /> <br />the large complications and study that Hould be required. You <br /> <br />have got to distinguish the diversion, the application, the re- <br /> <br />turn flow and all those details in order to get at the ground <br /> <br />of consumption in the upper basin. I don't think it is practi_ <br /> <br />cal to make that a really vital part of this compact. It is a <br /> <br />thing that is very useful \/hen determined. A study ought to be <br /> <br />made right straight along and it might be that, by long <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />experience, we would be able to foresee these things to such <br /> <br />an extent that it could be made somewhat useful, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: You don't see any practical l1ay at all of <br /> <br />spreading the famine then ? <br /> <br />NR. A. p. DAVIS: The way of spreading the famine over <br /> <br />the upper basin Hould have to be some such device as suggested <br /> <br />if it oould be. done. But it can be done as between the t\!O <br /> <br />basins by fixing the lninimum at Lee's Ferry. <br /> <br />NR. CARPENTER: At 0. low enough figure. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />HR. A. p. 'bAVIS: At a proper figure. Too lo\! would put <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />, , <br />all the burden on the lower basin, too high \!ould put it on <br /> <br />the upper basin. <br /> <br />14th-S.F, <br />35 <br /> <br />181 <br />
