Show 5807 3807 254 not have reached Lees Ferry; there may have been a load that reached Lees Ferry; of that load of 131,000,000 tons that reached Lees Ferry, 50,000,000 tons may have come from Green-river, but it may not have come during that particular year. I have shown that between our stations at Bright Angel and Topock, the load for any given period is quite different; during the fall, the Topock Station carries a larger load than Bright Angel Station; the Bright Angel Station is about 250 miles above Topock. But during the spring floods, the larger load is carried in some manner that we do not measure. Q Well, of course, the meaning of these figures all depends, I suppose, on other factors; that is, I suppose it depends on volume of water and velocity of water, does it not? A Yes, sir, it does. Q That is, 50,000,000 tons at Greenriver with a certain amount of water, would have a different effect than 50,000,000 tons with other amounts of water? A Yes, sir, it would, because this 50,000,000 tons is based upon the quantity flowing by Greenriver; we have to consider that. |
