Normal reservoir seepage, tributary inflows, <br />and return flows will provide more chan the desired flows, Benefits <br />of the desired minimum flows were not evaluated; consequently, water <br />quality control is considered to be an incidental function at the <br />unit and has not been included in cost allocations or benefit-cost <br />analyses. <br /> <br />PUBLI C HEALTH <br /> <br />The Public Health Service, Department of Health, Education,and <br />Welfare, made a study of disease vector problems and public health <br />hazards in the Narrows area based upon available information and <br />data. Tbe report by the Public Health Service is appended to this <br />planning report. <br /> <br />All recommendations by the Public Health Service are acceptaDle <br />to the Bureau of Reclamation and will be implemented as fully as <br />possible. <br /> <br />48 <br />
