Whether or not there is water suffi
cient for any irrigation project can
not be determined by mere inspection
or by measurements made over a
short period of years. When the rec
lamation act was passed, in 1902, It
was possible for the government to
proceed at once with certain projects
because the geological survey had on
file the results of stream measure
ments showing that sufficient water
was available for these projects. The
reclamation service has no legal power
to make general investigations of
stream flow, and obviously it would
be unjust to charge the cost of gen
eral investigations over all the arid
