Show Leeds , representing the War 943 Department , , pursuant to an Act of Congress or a Resolution of the House of Representatives . ( R . 3713-3714 . ) He had with him the report of Lieutenant Leeds to which lie referred when ( he lie ) made the reconnaissance survey spoken of . ( R . 3715 . ) Compl . Exh . No . 2 , " ( Department "Department Department ) of the Interior , , 13ureau of Reclamation , Colorado River Basin / Y ) was made partly by him and under his direction . . ( R . 3715 . ) The coloration in red shows the area , approximately , that ( will MUM ) be completed , by the level of the water when the reservoir is full , or the limit to which the water would be set back by the dam . On the proposed dam site marked ( "Glen Glen ) ( Canyon" Canyon Canyon ) the red discoloration extends back close . to the ( junc- junc ) tion of the Green and Grand Rivers . It means that the reservoir , when full , would cover that portion of the Colorado River , below the junction of the Green down to the dam site , and would eliminate the rapids in that section . ( R , 3716 . ) But you must ( under- under ) stand that the reservoir would be built for irrigation , for power , or perhaps for assistance in navigation ( somewhat soinewhat ) , , and that it would be drawn down , so that at the upper end of this reservoir the cataracts would still be there . In other words , this is a basin ; this is a reservoir , and when it is full it would back up that far ; ; but as it is drawn down here ( on exhibit ) the river channel would be recovered and would remain ( approxi- approxi ) mately in its original condition . |
