Show development of the water 1025 resources in the basin ( of' of ) the Colorado River , above the mouth of the Green River . It shows irrigated land and proposed ( irriga- irriga ) tion ; developed power sites and power sites proposed for ( development develoopment ) , and a general comprehensive scheme of development of the whole river system . . ( R . 4041-4042 . ) In the State of Utah this map shows a little irrigated land in the vicinity of Moab ; some proposed for irrigation on the Dolores River , a tributary of the Colorado near Monticello ; and what is known as the Dewey site , a short distance below the mouth of the Dolores River . ( R . 4042-4043 . ) That is intended primarily for river ( control-river- controlriver ) regulation and power ; the water , if and when used for irrigation , will be used below Grand Canyon somewhere for storage and power . The lower ( por- por ) tion for power , and a few feet at the top for storage . There is no opportunity below that point to divert for irrigation in a practical way until they get clear below the canyon section of the river . They have also a suggested undeveloped power site , which would be flooded out if this reservoir were constructed on the Dolores River at its mouth . The power site , in their terminology , represents the power of the river in its natural condition , without a dam ; an undeveloped power site would be that . They ordinarily speak of it as a power plan , unless a development is made , although the term ( "site" site ) is also used for the development . ( R . 4043-4044 . ) |
