What Glen Canyon Dam
Will Mean to Arizona

II. II. Ballard, vice pT0SluSile
and general manager of the
Southern California Edison COM
pany, in an address to Prescott
high school students last week
told quite a bit about what the
project of Harvesting of the
Colorado would mean to Arizona
and adjoining states. Below we
give excerpts from his address:
"Mr. Ballard began by ex-
planning how large the project
is, saying the 3,500,000 horse
power his company proposed
eventually to develop was about
one-third of the hydroelectric
power of the United States,
three and one-half times more
than is produced in the state of
California, and approximately
25 times as much electric power
as is used in the state of Ari-
zona.
Explaining the features of
the huge main storage dam in
Glen canyon, it was stated that
the dam will be approximately
five hundred feet high and will
have a capacity of forty million
acre feet of water, or in other
words, water one foot deep over
an area of forty million acres
of land. This dam will back the
water up into the state of Utah,
forming a lake 200 miles long,
averaging 400 feet deep. This
would be equivalent to flooding
the entire state of Arizona six
inches deep, oE to put it in an
other way, it would make Yay-
apal county a lake six feet deep.
The Glen canyon reservoir
mnnld ho-loo~tUd at Une top OF a
natural fall in the river of three
thousand feet, all of which
would be available for power
development, through success
i've power houses, probably as
many as eight in number, util-
izing the entire flow of the river
from this point to the Gulf, ex-
ceptlng that portion of t h e
stream within the borders of the
Grand Canyon National Park.
We believe this is the ideal site
for the control of the river and
the creating of a main storage
of Boulder canyon, far down on
the stream, practically at the
foot of the natural fall, the
water would be used but once
and only about one-sixth of the
potential power of the river
would be made possible for de-
velopment."
