Show 65 -- 62-- flow at the junction, within reasonable limits. The flow of these two ( indicating) Bluff and this place ( indicating) gives the flow below the San Juan within reasonable limits; and this flow ( indicating) at Lees Ferry is the combined flow of the Colorado at Lees Ferry. These ( indicating on map) are plotted by days throughout the year." R. 151. From October to September is what is called a " water year." " In other words, conditions are supposed to be more normal each year beginning October each year. All of the stream records are computed as of that year, being a water year. This ( indicating) is simply a record of the flow as it has been recorded at the gauging stations." R. 151- 152. The records for Greenriver, Utah, show that at the time Mr. Eddy started on his expedition June 27th, 1927, the flow was about 30,000 second- feet at Greenriver, Utah. " The flow dropped off the latter part of the month, down to about 22,000. It came up to 30,000; dropped down to about 23,000; went up to 25,000, and then dropped off the normal drop that generally occurs during July and August. At that same time, the maximum flow at Cisco was around 43,000 second- feet. So in all probability, the flow at the end of June was approximately 70,000 second feet in the canyon above the San Juan." R. 152. When these two rivers came together, " there was a peak flow somewhere in the neighborhood of 70,000 second- feet. The record he gave this morning, 119,000 second- feet, was the peak flow at Lees Ferry, during that flood, on or about July 1, 1927. Taking off that 80,000 second- feet that come |
