  years

  Tables 
  are 
  given 
  in 
  the 
  Keport 
  of 
  the 
  Board 
  of 
  Engineers 
  on 
  

   Deep 
  Waterways 
  similar 
  to 
  those 
  for 
  the 
  Genesee 
  storage, 
  show- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  quantity 
  of 
  water 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  furnished 
  from 
  this 
  

   reservoir 
  during 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  years. 
  In 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  definite 
  

   information 
  derived 
  from 
  gagings, 
  the 
  inflow 
  to 
  this 
  reservoir 
  is 
  

   taken 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  the 
  runoff 
  of 
  the 
  Hudson 
  river, 
  although 
  there 
  

   is 
  some 
  reason 
  for 
  believing 
  that 
  the 
  runoff 
  of 
  the 
  Salmon 
  river 
  is 
  

   somewhat 
  larger 
  than 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  Hudson 
  river. 
  On 
  the 
  head- 
  

   waters 
  of 
  Salmon 
  river 
  and 
  Fish 
  creek, 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  body 
  stated 
  

   at 
  about 
  150,000 
  acres 
  (234 
  square 
  miles) 
  of 
  unbroken 
  forest, 
  

   and 
  while 
  aside 
  from 
  some 
  irregular 
  gagings, 
  nothing 
  is 
  known 
  

   as 
  to 
  the 
  flow 
  of 
  these 
  streams, 
  the 
  indications 
  are 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  

  

  *Full.
