Show 5833 3833-- 3839 281 Q Now, just take some figure on there, and illustrate what you mean. A On August 1st, the percentage of silt was about 14 or 15 per cent, and the discharge for the same period was about 23,000 or 24,000 second- feet. However, the peak dis-charge was not recorded until the second day of August, which was about 27,000 or 28,000 second- feet; at the time, the percentage of silt had dropped off to about 10 or 11 per cent. Q Well, now, Mr. Love, is there any definite fixed relation between the stream flow and the discharge of the amount of silt or sediment carried in the river? A As far as I have been able to observe, there is no definite relation but might say that in general an increase of discharge is accompanied by an increase in the amount of suspended matter carried. By The Special Master: Q An increase in the percentage of suspended matter carried, did you say -- or in amount? A Well, it would mean the same thing. Q Well, not necessarily. |
