<br />34 <br /> <br />34 <br /> <br />I <br />exchange for .the revised report, which coAtains revised figures, <br /> <br />revised .recommepd,ations; Ej.nCi f.urthe r facti:!. <br /> <br />,. <br />It should not be understood that thi~ report is in any sense a <br />finality of the Colorado Basin. I do not! expect to see any such a <br />, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />report no matter ho,r industriously we fol+ow it up but this report <br /> <br /> <br />oontains in condensed form the existing ipformation with a fair degree <br /> <br /> <br />of description: that is passed on so that some correct ideas can be <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />had as to what parts are <br /> <br />subject to the most radical changes .and what <br />, <br />, <br />, <br /> <br />parts are not, r think we have demonstrated the possibility of full <br /> <br />, <br />conservation of.the water of the ColoradolRiver, with an advantageous <br />i <br /> <br />use of the .,lUter.for power and a full use of the water for irrigation <br />so far as that is feasible, That does not mean in any of these <br />I <br />, <br />respects that we have the information in ~he utmost detail--that is <br /> <br />, <br />, <br />not the fact except in a few cases but the general information is <br /> <br />there andr think that the basis on which, this Commission is proceed- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ing--I am very glad to see that there is a general acceptance of what <br /> <br /> <br />we believe to be the basic fact--is that ~here is sufficient Vlaterin <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />the river for both the Upper and LOVler Basins, and that neither need <br /> <br />hamper the. full development of the other !3asin in irrigation. The <br /> <br />, ,. <br />development in the Upper Basin will, of course, greatly deplete the <br /> <br />possibilities of power throughout the Canyon region. We sometimes <br />. i <br />hear the statement that the use of ,later ~n irrigation does not <br />, <br />deplete .the water supply. lands do consulne Hater and the water is <br /> <br />... <br /> <br />consequently less; there actually is a lo;ss and ,Ie have made a study <br />so.that we knoVl about what that loss Wil~ be. <br />Hr. .Carpenter. I might suggest that! our expert has just con- <br />cluded a very complete analysis of a ve~ detailed investigation in <br />I <br />the State of Colorado. Mr. Meeker has w~rked hard on that report, <br /> <br />. <br />
