First the power houselocation depends largely on the availabilityof a suitable site for a forebay, or balancingpond, located at the end of the canal and atthe head of the pressure pipe line. This takescare of the fluctuations between water supplyand electrical load. It also insures continuityof service at any time the canal is under re-pairs. It should be probably large enoughto store water sufficient for one days run,though this is a matter open to discussion. Inthe case of the Drum development, the fore-bay will have a capacity of 400 acre feet orI 7,424,000 cubic feet, which is equivalent toa flow of 350 second feet for about I 4 Power house camp from across Bear River Dump cars discharging load
