Since the rainfall is practically the same forall the years that have been recorded,and the climatic conditions have vaied but little,there is no reason why the assumptions that are made hereare not good for all the years to come. Prom these reports the hyirographcan be dravm for the year of 1903,and other curves can be drawn that willenable us to get the discharge for any gage height. Also a curve can beplotted that will shov/ the output of the river in kilo-watts for the diff-erant

Prom the reoorts it is found that the minimumamount of water that has ever flowed by this section is 6700 cubic feetper if this condition should ever occur again,it must be lookedout for and the plant constructed to meet this. Since th^ drainagedistrict plant was installed the minimiim flow is nearly 10,000 cubic f^etsecond the ye^r around. On page#T is shown some of tfte data that wastaken form the deep water v/ay papers. i.
