Show River and other tributaries 184 of the San Juan , the following statement appears at page 153 : ( "The The ) other tributaries of the San Juan need not here be described . Thosa mentioned are perennial streams , but much of their water is diverted for ( irri- irri ) gation and never reaches the main river . " Especially during seasons of the year when the water of tributaries of the San Juan entering below Shiprock are not diverted for irrigation purposes , the gauge records at that point would seem to be of little value in determining stream flow at Bluff . We shall later refer to depletion of these rivers resulting from diversions for irrigation purposes . There is no evidence indicating that the years during which the gauging stations have been maintained at Bluff , Cisco and Green River , Utah , respectively , were not fairly representative years and , we shall therefore confine our references to the records at the Utah stations in discussing gaugings of stream flow . San Juan River . The statement appearing on page 68 of ( Complainant's Complainants ) brief that there was at one time a minimum daily discharge of only 199 ( second-feet secondfeet ) at the Bluff station is ( supported sapported ) by data appearing in said Exhibit 96 and also on page 43 of ( Complainant's Complainants ) Exhibit 56 . It there appears that on one day , to wit , December 10 , 1916 , the gauging records at Bluff show a stream flow of 199 ( second-feet secondfeet ) , the maximum flow for that month being 1130 ( second-feet secondfeet ) , and the mean flow 669 ( second-feet secondfeet ) . There were two , days in September , 1915 , when the ( daily -daily daily ) stream flow was 380 ( second-feet secondfeet ) and nine days when the daily stream flow ranged from 420 to 480 ( second-feet secondfeet ) ; there was one day in December , 1915 , when the daily ( stream -stream stream ) flow was 388 ( second-feet secondfeet ) and , seven days during that month when it ranged from 416 to 485 ( second- second ) feet ; during December , 1916 , when the stream flow of 199 ( second-feet secondfeet ) was recorded , there were two days vhen the stream flow was 204 ( second-feet secondfeet ) and one day when it was 291 ( second-feet secondfeet ) , two days when the flow was 350 ( second-feet secondfeet ) and three days when the flow ranged from 410 to 471 ( second-feet secondfeet ) ; in January , 1917 , there was one day ( when ivhen ) the stream flow was 350 ( second-feet secondfeet ) , one day when it was 410 ( second-feet secondfeet ) and two days when it was 471 ( second-feet secondfeet ) ; in August , 1928 , there was one day when the stream flow was |
