Walker Lake Water

L has been demonstrated time and
again by measurements at both a
high and low stage of water in the
Walker river that enough water goes
to waste in the spring months OF each
year to irrigate every foot of ground
in Mascl Valley the year around.
There are splendid reservoirs sites
On both the East and West Walker
rivers where this flood water could be
stored until such time in the year as
it was needed for irrigation purposes,
and the expense Of constructing such
reservoirs would probably be less than
such work would cost on any other
