Q Mr. Hoyt, in order to make an intelligent examination of a river at any particular point, I will ask you whether or not, in your opinion, it is necessary to examins the tributaries and take those into consideration also? A The basin has to be studied as a whole in practically all hydraulic problems. Q Well, is it not one of the recognized principles of hydraulic engineering that in the study of a particular river the entire basin must be considered? A Yes, sir, it is. Q As I understand it, such things as the stream flow, the amount of silt, sediment, driftwood, and other conditions, are entirely dependent upon the tributaries? 2099 |
