<br /> <br />It is only where there is a low cycle of two or three "or <br /> <br /> <br />four lean years that the real minimum will come into play, <br /> <br />MR. CALDvillLL: Mr. Chairman, I have been a little misty as <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />to just what you mean by minimum flow. Would this be considered <br /> <br /> <br />to be what the 10Vler basin <,mnts? That if a reserve storage of <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />say six million acr~7feet is provided at or above Lee's Ferry, <br /> <br />that they shall have turned into it annually six million acre- <br /> <br />feet to be turned dOVln to the lower basin? Would that be con- <br /> <br />side red a minimum to the 10Her states ? <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER; That is to control it altogether by the <br /> <br />storage ? <br /> <br />MR. CALD1<IEL.L: Yes, that is Vlhat I think we win finally <br /> <br />have to come to, <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: vJhat power have 1Ve over the instrumentali_ <br /> <br />It <br /> <br />ties by which that storage might be created ? <br /> <br />MR. CALD1<illLL: Well, first, would that do it ? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />NR. HOOVER: If the upper states keep a parcel of water, <br /> <br />six million acre-feet, ten million or tl1enty million, on hand in <br /> <br />order to make the guarantee good, it Vlould be assurance to the <br /> <br />lower states and no doubt would assist them, <br /> <br />MR. EMERSON: We don't know just hOH ~18 will bring about <br /> <br />the building of the reservoir. <br /> <br />HR. CALD1'illLL: In the first place, Hr. Chairman, it is <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />very probable that such reserve storage above the point, say at <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Lee's Ferry, would not be necessary for many years, and the re- <br /> <br />serve might be held at a lO~18r basin reservoir, if it were <br /> <br />14th-S,F. <br />37 <br /> <br />183 <br /> <br />i. <br />
