The two reservoirs, Nos. 1 and S. are Jointly supplied from three streams, namely, the Chlcisa creek, the Poyle Arroyo and th Huerfano river. Immense feeder ditches have beert constructed to convey the water Into .these storage basins. The combined carrying capacity of these feeder ditches Is about 2, cubic feet per second of time or a sufficient capacity to store 6.6"0 acre feet of water In twenty-four hours. The available at o rage capacity of the two reservoirs Is 1G.000 acre feet. These ditches, running full three days out of the entire year, will tore this amount of water, which Is sufficient to aupply every acre of the 10,000 acre under the system .with a quota of one and one half acre feet of water at one filling; that Is, enough water to cover every acre one and one-half feet deep, which, with the natural rainfall, la considered ample, although If more la drawn out as It Is needed the reservoirs can be partially refilled from time to time." im pro ted Shipping, Facilities.
