Probably 125,000 acre-feet should be built to provide reasonable hold over. The project can expect severe shortages in dry years. The irrigable t acreage given by Stubblefield is 30,000 acres of the gross of 70,000, but it is possible to extend to cover the lower end of the Seedskadee and it is assumed that 50,000 irrigable acres can be found.
