The Colorado is a larger stream than the Green , carrying about 25 per cent more water , and , therefore , in general the volume of water in the Colorado is greater than in the Green . ( R . 349-350 . ) The slope of the Colorado ( River'bed Riverbed ) is less than that of the Green , and although the volume was greater in the Colorado at the time the witness was there , the width of the stream was greater and the depth of water in the two streams was about the same ; the general conditions of the two were not materially ( different diff-crent diffcrent ) .
