<br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: It comes back more or less to fixing the <br /> <br />minimum at Lee's Ferry, <br /> <br />Now' isn't it a physical fact that, if there is a shortage <br /> <br />of Hater, that shortage l1ill be felt after the flush flow <br /> <br />and not before? In other words, the southern basin will. . <br />actuaJ,ly develops. In the handling of a given year of famine <br />have the advantage of the bulk of its Hater before thefaminej: <br /> <br />the Hay and June flOH is the flow out of .,/hich the southern <br /> <br />states are going to secure their irrigation lmter for the <br /> <br />season, isn't it ? <br /> <br />HR. CARPEJI;'TER: Yes sir. <br /> <br />HR. HOOVER: And the important thing to them is the flow <br /> <br />during that period. <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: It is the period before the real leanness <br />is felt. The water is being used during both Hay and J~ne. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIE1: I think this will be the condition; that the <br /> <br />flush l1aters 1{ill be small and will be the Haters that would <br /> <br />pass Lee's Ferry on their own account Hithout the minimum <br /> <br />flo,/. Then the continuous melting of the snOHS above will <br /> <br />furnish the ordinary supply for the upper states, but there <br /> <br />Hill be none coming dOlm unless there is some arrangement by <br /> <br />Hhich it Hill be alloHed to pass Lee's Ferry in a lean year, <br /> <br />Therefore the pinch Hill be felt beloVT and not above. It will be <br /> <br />the flood that will be short and not the floH thereafter. <br /> <br />MR. CARPE!~ER: In a single year the pinch below will <br /> <br />be reflected on the succeeding year because there Hill be a <br /> <br />carry-over from the previous fat year. <br /> <br />14th-S.F. <br />36 <br /> <br />182 <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />,. <br /> <br />182 <br />
