38 BULLETIN 1026, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
The distribution of both river and reservoir water from the Greeley 
Canal Xo. 2 is handled in much the same manner as from the Lari- 
mer and Weld Canal. The company controls only the main canal 
and its responsibility ends when the water is delivered to the lateral. 
Because of its short length the canal is divided into two sections 
only, each of which is handled by a ditch rider under the direction 
of the superintendent. Diversions from the canal are made through 
Powell gates, which may be raised or lowered only by the ditch rider, 
and the water delivered is measured over weirs. Before the delivery 
of reservoir water is begun the user may get his pro rata share of 
the water in the canal by applying to either the rider on the main 
ditch or the rider on his lateral. After the canal begins carrying 
reservoir water the small amount of river water received is used to 
supply reservoir demands and an equivalent credit is accumulated in 
either the TTindsor Reservoir or the Cache la Poudre Reservoir. 
When a sufficient credit has been accumulated to supply a day's run 
to each right, each stockholder under the canal is credited with his 
pro rata share, which will be delivered to him on demand. 
Eeservoir water is delivered by the company on demand of the user 
a day in advance, orders received before 1 p. in. being filled the fol- 
lowing morning. The unit used is 1 second-foot for a day. and the 
company charge for carriage is Si. The secretary of the company 
is required to keep a record of the reservoir water handled and for 
this purpose he has a journal, order book, and ledger. All credits 
of water reported are first entered in the journal, after which they 
are posted in the ledger. The order book page is designed for a 
period of 10 days and is divided into columns in which are entered 
the date, name of user, page of ledger containing his account, a nota- 
tion to show whether the order was received by telephone or other- 
wise, name of person giving order, units or " rights" ordered, lateral 
to which water was to be delivered, and character of order, whether 
open or for a definite period, after which are 10 columns for noting 
the units delivered each day. These records are also posted in the 
ledger, which is in the form below :
