The amount of storage required for any particular canal depends 

 on the amount of water produced by the direct flow rights at various 

 times throughout the season and on the kinds of crops grown. This 

 is shown by data for 1916 and 1917 for the four largest canals of the 

 vallej^ in Table 32, The comparatively small amount of stored

water required by the Larimer County Canal is due to the fact that 

 the greater part of its deficiency on direct appropriations is made 

 up by foreign water. In the case of the North Poudre Canal the 

 supply was short and more reservoir water could have been used to
