Show 258 For instance, I show here ( indicating) the mean annual discharge of the Colorado River at Lees Ferry, at page 39. Q. Yes. A. I show for the years 1922 and 1928 what the mean annual discharge has been, what the mean annual run- off has been, what the minimum day has been, what the maximum day has been, and how the discharge has varied throughout the period. For instance, in 1925 the mean run- off was only 58 per cent of the mormal. In 1922 it was 16 per cent above normal. In other words, that is just a method of computation to show what the discharge was throughout that year compared with the mean. Q. I do not care to go into all that. I understand that. But where any variations are referred to by you, the figures that you give indicate that these variations are always the figures of gaugings at the same station? That is what I wanted to get at. Is that true? Q. Yes; that is true, I think. Q. Well, I want to know whether you are sure it it true. I do not want any such documents in here unless it is true. A. Now, the only -- for instance, take the Green River at Greenriver -- I will say that that is correct; that all the comparisons made here ( indicating} are comparisons at the gauging station. Q. You say that, apparently, with some little qualifications. 2221 |
