The Colorado, the Nile
 and the Susquehanna.

Colorado River, which drains an area of some 3O0.OO0 square miles, is often called the Nile of America, and like the Nile it is subject to an annual summer rise which comes at the time the water IS most needed for irriga- tion. Ia Water Supply Paper 2S9 of the United States Geological Survey, an interesting comparison IS made of this great southwestern rlver with the Egyptian Nile and with the Susque- hanna The Nile is similar In type to the Colorado; the Susquehanna shows the difference in flow between arid and humid regions. In the comparison a normal year, based on } year record for Colorado and Susquehanna rivers and such data as could be found in regard to the Nile, have been used. The Colorado has been taken as the standard of comparison.
 The Nile has 5.7 times the drainage area, and the Susquehanna about one. eighth the area of the Colorado. The rainfall Tn the Nile basin is 3S times greater; that in the Susquehanna
