and this has been investigated ex-
tensively.
Possible reservoir sites have been
found on the Grand and the Green
rivers. which. If constructed and
operated for the purpose of flood pro-
lection, would greatly reduce the
volume of the floods. for though the
areas intercepted by each are small
compared with the total area OF the
Colorado river basin, they drain
mountains with high precipitation
that furnish relatively large volume
of water. A reservoir site also exists
on the San Juan river. which Is the
next tributary of Importance, but the
feasibility of this has not been estab-
lished.
OF the total area drained by the
Colorado river, $4,000 square miles,
96, 600 is drained by the Grand, the
Green and the san Juan. which,
though draining less than two-fifths
of the total area, furnish approx
mately "a per cent of the total water
supply. There is still. however. near
lv 100000 square miles below these
rivers, exclusive of the ella, which
would be uncontrolled by such reser-
voirs. These areas, though furnish
ing a relatively small quantity of
water. owing TO their aridity. are yet
of such extent and declivity that they
furnish occasional floods of magni-
tude from direct precipitation, due to
which their control is important from
the standpoint of the flood menace.
In the study of this problem, ii has
been demonstrated that for several
reasons it is desirable to have reser-
voir below the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. which will intercept most of
the drainage of the Colorado river,
and. therefore, be a more complete So
luton of the flood control problem.
This method of control is still more
vital for other reasons.
The large areas of very fertile and
valuable lands now developed and be-
ing rapidly developed require imme-
diate relief by extension of storage
for irrigation, and If such storage is
constructed in the upper basin, it will
Of course be operated i'm conformity
with the requirements of irrigation in
the lower valley as nearly s this can
be predicted, but a large percentage
Of the water will be lost owing 70 the
great distance and the impossibility
of predicting the exact requirements
q month or more ahead. In order to
provide against embarrassing shortage.
il will be necessary TO turn out at all
times sufficient water to provide for
the most extreme conditions that may
occur, but which seldom do occur. and
this will mean that nearly all the time
a large amount of water will be flow
ing to waste. A large part Of this
waste can be obviated by an adequate
reservoir on the lower river.
In addition to the above waste, any
water supply appropriated above for
use in the lower valley would not be

few miles above the town of Indio,
about 144 miles from the present head
Of the gulf The Colorado river,
into the gulf a short dis
tance south of the international boun-
Diary, carried its heavy load OF silt
into the gulf for centuries, gradually
building up a. great delta cone en-
tirely across the gulf and cutting off
its northern end, which remains as
great depression from which most or
the water has been eyaporated. leav-
ing in it's bottom the Salton Sea Of
800 square miles, with its surface
about go feet below sea level.
The river flowing over its delta
cone steadily deposits silt in its chan
mel and by overflow on its immediate
banks, so that it gradually builds up
it's channel and its banks and forms
ridge growing higher and higher
until the stream becomes so unstable
that il breaks its banks in the high
water period and follows some other
course. In this manner the stream
has in past centuries swung back and
forth over sits delta, until this exists
as a broad flat ridge between the gulf
and the Salton Sea. about 80 feet
above sea level, and on the summit OF
this has formed a small lake called
Volcano lake, into which the river
flows at present, the water then find
ing it's way to the southwark into the
gulf
The direct distance from Andrade
on the Colorado river, where it
reaches Mexico, 10 the mead of the
gulf is about IS miles, and the dis
tance to the margin of Salton Sea is
but little more. AS the latter is about
250 feet lower than the gulf, the
strong tendency to flow in that di-
rection needs no demonstration. This,
coupled with the inevitable necessity
for such an alluvial stream to leave
it's channel at intervals, constitutes
the menace of the lands lying about
Salton sea, called the Imperial val
ley. As there is no escape of water
from Salton sea except by evapora-
ton. the river flowing into this sea
would, unless diverted, gradually fill
Ii to sea level or above and sub
merge the cultivated land and the
towns of Imperial valley, nearly all
of which are below sea level. Any
flood waters that overflow the bank
to the north must therefore without
fail be restrained and not allowed to
flow northward into Salton sea. This
is now prevented by a large leVee,

ward and connecting with the high
land near Andrade. This levee is in
Mexico and it's maintenance is COM
plicated thereby.
In 1905, the river secured out of the
channel of the Imperial canal and
turned its entire volume into the Sal
ton basin, eroding deep gorge and
raising the level Of Salton sea. 1t

PROPOSED

Southern Pacific railroad At great
difficulty and expense, after several
unsuccessful attempts. the river was
returned to its old channel in Febru
ary. 1907. The control of the river
would be greatly facilitated if the
floods were reduced in volume by
storage. Investigations have been
made concerning the feasibility OF
storing the floods and reducing their
volume to an amount easily con-
trolled.
The floods divide themselves natur-
ally into two general classes-those
from the Colorado river, which drains
large areas in wyoming. Colorado,
New Mexico, Utah and Arizona, and
those from the Gila, which lies mostly
IN Arizona and partly in New Mexico.
While the area drained is much
larger for the Colorado than for the
ella and the water supply vastly
greater, the habits of flow are such
that the ella river, owing to its flashy
character. sometimes furnishes flood
waves at its mouth near Yuma al
most as large as the maximum dis
charge of the Colorado at the same
point. These floods from the Gila,
however are infrequent and of re-
latively short duration While their
sudden character and erratic occur
rences make them peculiarly menac-
ing to the levees or other property on
the banks Of the river they do not
present so great a menace to the I'M
periaI valley on account of their short
duration and relatively small volume
The Colorado river rises gradually,
carries a. large volume of water for
several weeks, ard declines gradually
Should it break into the Imperial val
lev at time of flood. the long duration
of high water would cause great esro-
ion and render its control exceedingly
difficult. This is the experience ac-
tually obtained when this occurred
The ella. on the other hand, might
break into the Imperial valley but the
relatively short duration would not
furnish nearly so much water TO the
Salton sea, and consequently not in
cur the danger of submerging the en-
tire valley. The quick decline would
make its control comparatively easy
The great floods Of the ella occur in
winter, while those of the Colorado
occur in summer. So far as known
they never have coincided: but if this
ever should occur 1t would greatly
increase the menace
A reservoir site of 100000 acre
feet capacity has been investigated
near Sentinel, on the Lower ella.
which, il built and maintained. would
practically eliminate the menace from
the floods of the Gila, but the inves-
legations show such poor conditions
for foundation and abutments that
the feasibility of this reservoir is sub.

proper is, for tho reasons above

about 700 feet higher than the last

Various studies have been made on
the basis of the information avail
able and these studies indicate the
cost of a dam with flow line at 1880
feet. to be about s45,000,0 900. This
would have storage capacity Of
about 21,000.000 acre-feet. Increased
height OF dam TO provide greater stor-
age can be provided at an additional
cost of about one dollar per acre foot.
for the next 10 600. 600 acre feet. A
capacity OF 81 900, 900 acre feet would
require flow line at about 1895 feet
above sea level.
These figures include preliminary
work and the completion of the dam
in shape to serve for storage purposes
and upon which to install power
plants, but do not include any other
cost of power development or trans
mission.
A reconnaissance has been made
for two possible railroad lines-one
approaching from the west and join
ing the salt Lake and Los Angeles
railroad near Las Nagas: the other
approaching from the north, being
continuation of the branch which
runs from Moapa to st. Thomas. a
reconnaissance should be made also
with a possible connection with the

a comparison of the cost and results.
