The recorc of his studies of water supply <br /> <br />is not available. During 1935 a gaging station was maintained en <br /> <br />Willow Creek about It ~iles below the damsite through the cooperation <br /> <br />of the United States Geological Survey, the State Engineer and the <br /> <br />interested ~nter users. This station was continued in 1936 and 1937. <br /> <br />The diversion from the Clear Fork of Muddy Creek already <br /> <br />constructed to supplement the direct flow of West Divide Creek, can <br /> <br />be enlarged and extended to drain 5! miles of Clear Fork area. It <br /> <br />will discharge into West Divide Creek. There will be 12.4 souare <br /> <br />miles additional area on West Divide Creek above a diversion from that <br /> <br />creek to East Willow Creek, which will be 4t miles in length. Four <br /> <br />souare miles ef drainage on East Willow Creek and the sum of the diver- <br /> <br />sions listed above can be carried from East Willow Creek to the reser- <br /> <br />voir with 4000 feet of canal. The total area commanced will then be <br /> <br />28.7 sauare miles. <br /> <br />In a report dated June 25, 1913, Mr. A. G. Allan, in dis- <br /> <br />cussing the possible sources of water supply for the Hunter Mesa <br /> <br />area, which adjoins the project land on the west, condemned un- <br /> <br />sparingly any attempt to store water for Hunter Mesa on West Divide <br /> <br />Creek, both because of shortage of water and unsuitable reservoir <br /> <br />sites. The location of these sites is not stated. <br /> <br />No other investigations are known to have been made. <br /> <br />12 <br />
