( Cliannel Clwnnel ) ( dcpUis depths ) in Cataract Canyon ( M . R . , pp . . 149 , , 150 , Exceptions 63 , 64 ) . ( -There There ) has been no direct testimony with regard to depths in Cataract Canyon . . The rowboats which have gone downstream through this stretch of water had drafts of between 6 inches ( -and and ) 18 inches . There was no evidence that these boats grounded between the rapids and it may ( there- there ) fore be assumed that channel depths between the rapids generally exceeded 18 inches . Evidence shows that the majority of rapids in Cataract Canyon have been formed by an accumulation of boulders and large rocks in the channel over and around which the water passes . It is evident that under such conditions depths may range from zero where the boulders stick out of the water to several feet between them . The velocity of the water is so great that the sand and gravel bars which predominate behind ( the tbe ) ( rif- rif ) fles on the Green River are not formed in Cataract Canyon . The river is narrower and ( depths deptlis ) are ( therefore -therefore therefore ) greater than in sections of the river ( up- up ) stream and downstream .
