<br />
<br />desirable in this area, multiple-purpose projects were not considered in

<br />
<br />detail because (1) such consideration would 1nvo17e water-conservation
<br />
<br />problems not only in Fortification Creek Bealn but aleo in other stream
<br />
<br />basins ~n the drainage area of Yampa River. and (2) authority for this

<br />
<br />report directed investigation of. the flood problem resulting from over_
<br />
<br />
<br />flow by Fortification Creelc at and near Craig, Colo~ However, the

<br />conflict with a multiple-purpose o.evelo';lment for thE! YBIupa River :Basin in

<br />basin would be economically in;feasible.
