<br />32 <br /> <br />32 <br /> <br />An attempt has been made in this repqrt to condense all the <br />investigations which have been made, The~e is a bibliography of the <br />various streams, and a condensation of all their results; there is a <br />list of the results of borings and there bave been a large number of <br />, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />borings at reservoir sites and dam sites that have been made by the <br />government and they are listed. Such information that we have up to <br />date concerning the areas are here given :(indicating report). They <br />i <br />are, very fe1'1 of them, final. All are subject to correction and many . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. .. . <br />of'them are subject to probably very lar~e correction but it has. beEm <br /> <br />our effort throughout to resolve doubts f'or the purpose of this report <br /> <br />in favor of the larger development and I !think it will be found that <br />the areas here given are irrigable on the various tributaries of the <br /> <br />Colorado are very liberal. <br /> <br />, <br />i <br />In some cases when doubtful about cutting <br /> <br />the areas do,!ll, we kept to that liberal policy because we do not want <br />to forestall possible future development!by cutting it out. Of course <br />it is not to be understood that some are, not cut out. We have allowed <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />500,000 acres distributed throughout the! Upper Basin that will <br />probably be 1'laterad as extensions to pre~ent projects. We could not <br />locate all these extensions of present projects, but we have allowed <br />about 25 percent of the future developmept of the Basin where we know <br />i <br />the areas, for those areas inoluded in the ColUlllTl "X" (indicating <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />column in report.) <br />In our table here (indicating) of l'lmall developments which in <br /> <br />the aggregate are probably quite large_+that has been impressed upon <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. , <br />. . <br />me by a study of the Census reports Hhi0h show a large growth of <br /> <br />irrigation development which we oan not! locate by individual projects; <br /> <br />they are too small and too scattered; they are not included except in <br /> <br />the detailed enUllwrations of the Census1 and of course while that is <br /> <br />. <br />
