Abstract

THE Colorado River is a muddy stream that constitutes the lifeblood of the Pacific Southwest, the most important feature of which is the ultimate scarcity of its water or its ultimate inability to supply the potential needs of the communities dependent on it for irrigation and domestic water supply. The next feature of importance is the potential power capability of the river and its relation to the power needs of this same Pacific Southwest area.
