  above 
  new 
  Croton 
  dam 
  is, 
  as 
  already 
  stated,. 
  

   360 
  square

  It 
  is 
  considered 
  that 
  the 
  storage 
  afforded 
  by 
  

   this 
  reservoir 
  system 
  will 
  furnish 
  a 
  daily 
  supply 
  of 
  at 
  least 
  

   280,000,000 
  gallons. 
  At 
  this 
  rate 
  the 
  utilization 
  from 
  this 
  catch- 
  

   ment 
  will 
  become 
  778,000 
  gallons 
  per 
  square 
  mile 
  per 
  day, 
  or 
  1.20 
  

   cubic 
  feet 
  per 
  second 
  per 
  square 
  mile. 
  

  

  The 
  accompanying 
  tables 
  are 
  given 
  in 
  illustration 
  of
