According <br />to the study. net depletions above the average of 190 acre <br />feet would occur in 6 years of the 25 year period in <br />amounts of 1496 a.f. 863 a.f., 783 a.f., 536 a.f" 398 a.f, <br />and 331 a.f, The net effect would be zero in 3 years. and <br />either a net gain or a net depletion below average in 16 <br /> <br />years of the period. <br />With regard to this study, I have not had the opportunity <br /> <br />as yet to review the details. However. re~s&ntotjves of <br />the Corps of Engineers will probably report on the study at <br />a Water Conservation Board meeting. <br />IrrigaUen <br />The presently irrigated land in the project area below <br />the prOpoB&d Trinidad reservoir amounts to 19,500 acres <br />served by 13 ditches and 1 reservoir. The average annual <br />discharge of the Purgatoire River at Trinidad, for the <br />period 1925-1949. is 65.100 acre feet. Average annual <br />diversions have amounted to about 56.000 acre feet for <br />irrigation. <br />An average annual headgate diversion requirement of <br />2.90 acre feet per acre is estimated by the Bureau of <br />Reclamation. Application of this rate to the project <br />
