Show 94 the Fort Apache Indian Reservation which creates the Smith Park Reservoir. It is used for recreational purposes. The dam was constructed with tribal funds with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior. Its capacity is 5,000 acre-feet.96 Recreation potential of the Reservation is great, particularly along the White River. Indeed, the area is currently popular with vacationers and increased facilities are planned for the future.97 4. Indian Reservations-Coachella Valley. There are three small Indian Reservations in the Coachella Valley: the Cabazon Reservation, located near Indio, California; the Augustine Reservation; and the Torres-Martinez Reservation. The whole of the Cabazon and Augustine Reservations and part of the Torres-Martinez Reservation are within Coachella Valley Improvement District No. 1. In 1957, the Cabazon tribe listed 17 to 20 Indians on the tribal rolls, the Augustine tribe listed 5; and the Torres-Martinez tribe included approximately 250 Indians. Although these Indians did not, as of 1957, receive water from the Coachella Valley Water District, the District's distribution system is capable of serving the Indian land should proper laterals be installed. It is anticipated that some or all of these lands will be be furnished water in the future.88 5. Fish and Wildlife Service. Wildlife refuges maintained by the United States are operated for the protection of migratory birds and mammals, for recreation and for the prevention of crop depredations on adjoining farm land. Three of these exist in the Lower Colorado River Basin.** 90Tr. 14689-14695 (Haverland). See also U. S. Exs. 2416-2433. 07Tr. 15121-15147 (Davis). 08Tr. 14969-14986 (Warnock). See also U. S.
