Show 224 Master in this case. We expected then to go to trial with the State of Utah in April, and therefore I had to get the witness out there as quickly as possible in order to get this scientific data. The Special Master: I just wanted to get a general picture of it. As he has described the mean various strikings on bars and so on, I wanted to get a picture in my mind as to how far it represented a more or less normal condition. Mr. Collins: Yes, I understand. The Witness: I believe when you study it, it will be very clearly shown by Plate No. 28 of Exhibit 79, which is a compilation of something over 30,000 day observations at gauging stations on the Colorado, Green and San Juan rivers. Now, the particular question that was asked me was, How much the flow was below 4,900 second- feet in the Colorado? In the line shown by a dash and three dots, on Plate 28, is shown the daily deficiency curve, based on all on the stream flow records hat have been collected by the Geological Survey in the Colorado River At Cisco. This shows hat the extreme low water October flow is about 2,000 second- feet. The extreme high October flow is about 14,000 second- feet; that on the average there have been five days below 2,500 second- feet; five days when the flow has been between 2,500 and 3,500 second-feet; five days when the flow has been between 3,500 and 4,000 second- feet; five days when it has been between 5,000 and 2187 |
