OFFICIALS AT THE LAKE
DISTRICT PREPARED FOR TIL
FRESHET.
| Iorecaster Rrandenberg at Denver
Discharging 10000 Sec.-Ft.

G. G.. Anderson, of the consulting
hoard of engineers of the Imperial Ir-
rigation District, today received a tele-
gram from Forecasted Brandenberg at
Denver that the Green and Grand riv-
ers, chief tributaries of the Colorado,
were discharging into the latter stream
10000 second-feet of water-a vol
.ume unprecedented in recent years.
This vast amount of water will not
reach Yuma for from five to seven
Gays, it is estimated. That the other
tributaries of the Colorado below the
junction of the Green and Grand riv-
ers, namely the San Juan, Little Colo
RADIO and Virgin rivers, will not add
ir'uch to this total, is the belief of
Irrigation District officials, who are
relying upon the recently strengthened
lovees to ward off danger to the Val
ley.
Engineers Anderson and Grunsky are
today at Volcano lake overseeing the
work of dumping cars of rock onto
the levees. This is the weakest point
in the line of defense against the riv
lex and the only damage that ran h
done by the rising river is that Vol
cano lake may overflow the leee
there, and, seeking a channe,
New river, create some damage to u
irrigation structures along that chal--
mel. The water will pass harmlessly
down New river to the Salton sea ex-
cept for this small damage to struc-
lures, in the event an overflow comes.
Three Feet to Spare.
Today the water stands Al feet
against the Volcano AXE rock and
soil levees. The levees will take care
of rise of two and one-half feet. The
immense pressure of the water against
tie soft soil of one part of the levees,
however, constitutes the greatest dam
ger, and seepage may result, with the
effect of weakening the defenses. Rock
from Pilot Knob quarries is being
rushed by trainloads to the scene and
lc0 men are working at that point.
"We can take care of a 150,O0O-foot
river" said Chairman Leroy Holt of
the District board, today. Before it
\ caches Hanlon's we will have further
strengthened the Volcano Lake levees,
ard l am confident that we will be
able to keep the river and the lake
within their boundaries.
"At Yuma, and above that point,
/ the river is confined to :. narrow chan
irel. This channel will serve to check
the flash head and will have the ef-
! feet of lowering the height of the riv-
er. We are doing all we can to safe
III Mexico which may be damaged in
case the Volcano Lake levee is
preached. The District has been wide
awake to the danger of this enormous
amount of water company and is bet
ter prepared than ever before to meet
/ it."
The amount of water reported as
coming by Forecasted Brandenberg IS
the greatest that the Colorado has car
led since the diversion of water from
that stream into the Imperial Valley.
IN June, 1914, the high water mark
was 136,7OO feet at Yuma. In 1912,
IA 200 feet were discharged. Thi )
was the previous high record.
