<br />GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
<br />
<br />.......
<br />
<br />It is urgently recommended that, insofar as is possible, all gaging
<br />
<br />,:.;~';.'.
<br />
<br />;.'.,-
<br />
<br />stations having a history of operation of five years or more be kept in oper.ation.

<br />;; ".
<br />"
<br />
<br />Any wholesale relocation of existing stations would be very injurious to the
<br />
<br />program of stream flow record.
<br />
<br />Specifically it is recommended that establishment of the proposed
<br />
<br />"Chaffee Stationl', which is to be located Borne six miles below the existing
<br />
<br />l1Salida Station 11, be not considered reason for abandonment of the lISalida
<br />
<br />Station".
<br />
<br />It Is recommeoded that every effort be made to assist the State
<br />
<br />Engineer in securing an increased number of competent personnel for field
<br />
<br />placement.
<br />
<br />It is recommended that the present program for promoting better und
<br />
<br />understanding and relationship between the water user of the lower Arkansas
<br />
<br />Valley and of the Upper Arkansas VaHey be vigorously pursued.
