Show 6255 4247 Ross- C Q Let me ask you if it is not your knowledge and ex-perience on that river that the river channel up and down the Green and the Colorado as it is left each year following the high spring water, is substantially the same each year, that it is left in practically the same condition and position each year? A Not each year, not each succeeding year. Q Now Mr. Ross, just so we will have misunderstand-ing, that you won't misunderstand my questions, you understand now that I am not asking you about sand that is deposited through side washes as a result of floods, or anything of that sort, I am not speaking about those conditions. A I understand. Q If you have a flood up on the San Rafael, say, big cloudburst, and there is a big flow of water comes rushing down the San Rafael, there may be a decided change of condition right at the mouth of the San Rafael following such a flood. I am not talking about things of that kind except to this extent, that I want to ask you if it is not a fact that conditions thus created, sandbars that are brought in and created at the side washes, if they are not -- generally speaking, almost without exception, if they are not cleared out by the high spring water each year and left at that time in substantially the same condition they were the year before and as you will find them the year after? |
