Show 145 Additional testimony showing the shifting ( cliar- cliar ) , acter of the bed of Green River is contained in the record : 9 Colorado River ( from froin ) the mouth of the Green River ( to- to ) . ( Moab Afoab ) . Except at The Slide and perhaps one or two isolated localities , the Colorado River between Moab and the mouth of the Green ( River- River River ) flows in a canyon fill of unconsolidated shifting sand and silt . ( Compl . Exhibit 75 . ) The limits of horizontal shift are fixed by the adjacent rock ( walls valls ) and talus slopes , but between these limits the river meanders ( simi-- simi ) larly to the Green . Any one of the bars shown on Plates 30 to 33 ( Compl . Exhibit 76 ) could , with a ( few- few ) changes in ( general creneral ) dimensions , be used to illustrate bars along the Colorado . Roughly , there are about 2.7 acres of low exposed sand bars to the mile ( along along- along ) the Colorado compared to about 1.4 acres to the mile along the Green below the San Rafael . This ratio would probably hold true for the submerged crossing bars . All side and crossing bars are noted . with appropriate symbols on the river survey maps , Plates 44,45 , and 46 ( Compl . Exhibit 78 ) . ( Outstand Outstand-- Outstand ) ing bars Tvith shallow depths were observed at Mile . 3.51 4.91 7.81 10 , 111.81 142 16.5 ; 19.51 21 , 21.52 22 , ) 28 ; 1 Hoyt Abs .
