Show __2__ International Water Commission, United States and Mexico, Washington, D. C, November 9, 1929. To the International Water Commission, United States and Mexico. Gentlemen: We have found certain errors or omissions in our report on Colorado River submitted to you in Mexico City under date of August 29, 1929, and to correct these request that the following be indorsed on the official copies of that report. (1) Sheet 6, after the words "Bureau of Reclamation estimate," line 18, insert the word "of the flow at Laguna Dam." (2) Sheet 12, under "lower basin," change "Mojave 30,300" to "Mojave 24,000." (3) Under same heading put a bracket after 40,000 and 124,000 for Palo Verde mesa and Chuckawalla Valley and add "50 per cent considered irrigable." (4) Changes in figures under (2) and (3) above make it necessary to alter the following totals: (a) Under "lower basin," fifteenth line, 62,200 to 55,-900 and 897,200 to 890,900. (b) Under same heading, twenty-fifth line, 1,431,000 to 1,349,000 and 2,343,000 to 2,254,700. (c) Under same heading, twenty-ninth line, 6,530,000 to 6,441,700. (d) Sheet 13, next to last line, 8,500,000 to 8,411,700. Mr. Adams does not consider the above changes of great importance because all of the figures given are estimates and are greatly in excess of the area that can ever be irrigated because of insufficient water supply, but he is entirely willing to have them noted as requested by Mr. Fa vela. |
