But this is the flood that he was talking about ( indicating on map)." R. 152- 153 The water does not permanently travel; it is not the travel of the water. " For instance, you will notice this peak ( indicating on exhibit) occurred practically on the same day at Greenriver, Utah, and at Bluff, and two days later it occurred at Lees Ferry. The peaks of floods appear almost simultaneously at any point on the stream, as you will notice in this September flood ( indicating on exhibit); the same rain is usually uniform, so that the river comes up about the same." R. 153. As a matter of comparison, the stage of water at Greenriver the day he started on that trip was about 2300 or 3000 second- feet. " He [ Clyde L. Eddy] had somewhere about ten times as much water when he started as we had, although on one day we had a peak of 12,000." R. 153- 154. There is a very uniform flow from October to May - very low; " in general, lower than when I was there. A fall sic. How of 2,000, 3,000, or 4,000 second- feet on the Green River and the Colorado River is quite a large one." By Mr. Blackmar: " Q Well, are there - I suppose we would say " physical" reasons why that water out there is lower in the months of October, November, December, January, and February than it is in the other months? |
