Show B. HYDROLOGY - INFLOW-OUTFLOW STUDIES The engineering work of the Commission during the past year has been considerably curtailed under that for previous years, most of the technical work having been accomplished by one engineer working on a half-time basis. The greatest portion of the work has been in connection with studies of the Inflow-Outflow Method of measuring stream depletions. Although the Engineering Committee met once during the year, there have been no additional engineering reports since Engineering Report No. 23, dated March 1, 1956, which consisted of a review and record of the Inflow-Outflow studies made prior to that time. Limited investigations have been made into the relationship of stream flow to consumptive use. The Commission has authorized a complete census of the irrigated acreages in the Upper Colorado River Basin and within each State of the Upper Basin. It has also authorized an enlargement of its technical engineering staff. As soon as it is possible to obtain the needed personnel, investigations of irrigated acreages and intensified research into the Inflow-Outflow Theory of measuring stream depletions will be commenced. Calculations of virgin flows based upon estimates of man-made depletions are dependent upon accurate estimates of irrigated acreages. The engineering staff of the Commission is continuing its job of collecting, assembling and analyzing all hydrographic records pertaining to the Colorado River Basin. Numerous project reports on water-development projects, compiled by various Federal agencies, have been analyzed. Forecasts of Stream Flow Forecasts of water supply have not been made by the Engineering Department, nor have any findings of fact pertaining to water deliveries or stream depletions been made. Forecasts of stream flow made by various other agencies are to be found in the files of the Commission. -13- |
