For the purpose of this study the past upstream depictions of the Salt River are estimated at 12,000 acre feet annually. The past upstream depletions on the Gila River are estimated to vary uniformly between the amounts indicated below: Year Depletion 1899 1+2,000 acre feet 1909 85,000 tt ti 1922 77,000 tt tt 1933 79,000 tt it 101 |
