The Exhibit was received in evidence. R. 240. He has used the word " head" in his reports and documents in the same way " that you use it in speaking of the head of a dam - the difference in the elevation above and below the dam; it is the difference in elevation above and below the riffle." R. 241. " Q When you say a head will be created of three feet in a distance of a thousand feet, that means it will be a fall? " A I mean the profiles or surveys show that there was an actual fall of three feet in that distance of 1,000 feet." R. 241. In the study of river flows, where, for instance, a rise of two feet is indicated on the gauge, that will not necessarily produce a two- foot depth of water on riffles and sandbars. On account of the changes in slope of a river, and changes of width at difference places a rise of two feet at any one place " did not necessarily mean that there would be a two- foot rise at any other place. Given the same hydraulic condition, the same cross section, and the same slope at another cross section, there would probably be the same two- foot rise. But if you increase your width, or change your slope, you change the height to which the water will go. " Q With reference to the deposit of silt and the forming of sandbars, or crossing bars, will you explain |
