The above principles <br /> <br />were taken into consideration in the present study of the operation of the <br /> <br />Caddoa reservoir. <br /> <br />The water supply available for storace in the reservoir was taken as the <br /> <br />recorded flow of tile river at Lar.lfir, less the esth~ated inflow to the river <br /> <br />betIl8en the 6i te of the Caddoa darn and that point, it being asstuned in l3eneral <br /> <br />that the requirements of n,e cF.nals in Col'-.rado belmr LEmar are satisfied from <br /> <br />,;eturn flO'T. <br />
