ter that the area of land which will

The great value of this method of

That the water caught and held back

development of the vast s~nbterranean
sources of water supply for irrigation,
which may be tapped and utilized in
hundreds of places, not only in the
region thus outlined, but throughout
the entire territory in which irrigation
is needed. The lands which will thus
