Such diversions in <br /> <br />1943, however, do not include seepage water which was presumed to have been inter- <br /> <br />cepted by the Amity and Hyde canals, as shown by the D1iily River Reports. <br /> <br />Delivery of useable water to Kansas amounted to 57,930 acre feet which was <br /> <br />5930 acre feet in excess of the 52,000 acre feet specified in the Stipulation, <br /> <br />and 4296 acre feet more tr~ average historic diversions by the Kansas ditches, <br /> <br />which do not include diversions by the Alamo and Fort Aubrey ditches. <br /> <br />Commissioner McGrath reported on August 23rd, that crops under the Alamo ditch <br /> <br />were very good and that this ditch apparently had received ample w1iter supplies. <br /> <br />The water used by this ditch however was very largely supplied by the Frontier <br /> <br />ditch or from lands irrigated from that ditch. <br /> <br />Diversions by the Fort Aubrey ditch in 1943 ~s reported by Commissioner <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />McGrath were very small, due to damages which the ditch incurred from floods <br />I <br />in 1942. <br />
