TABLE 4 



RELATION BETWEEN EVAPORATION AND NATURAL LOSSES FOR AREA BETWEEN 

 HAMNER AVENUE AND THE ATCHISON TOPEKA AND SANTA FE RAILWAY BRIDGE 



ON THE SANTA ANA RIVER 



(.'\rea, 2,1 10 acres) 



the Santa Ana Mountains. There are no live streams feeding the river 

 in this section. If there is little inflow during the summer between 

 these stations, the inflow for the area above the railway bridge gaging 

 station should be nearly the same as that above the Prado gaging station. 

 Plate XI shows that the two sets of figures for inflow agree remarkably 

 well, the decrease in stream flow between the two stations being about 

 equal to the computed natural losses. 



One purpose of this plate is to show the extent of the losses between 

 Riverside Narrows and the Prado gaging station. Of an inflow which 

 was computed to be 48.5 second-feet, only 12.8 second-feet left the area 

 as surface Avater during the 5-day period August 21-25, 1932. During 

 the period August 1-5, 1930, only 5 second-feet were recovered from an 

 inflow equally great.
