THE SNAKE RIVER- AN ALTERNATE WATER SUPPLY The 1961 joint report of the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Corps. of Engineers entitled, "Upper Snake River Basin," presents a summary of the water resources of the Upper Snake River, together with an analysis of a number of potential water development projects in that area. The attached Plate 1 is based upon information in the joint report showing "present" and "future" average flows of the Snake River below Twin Falls from which it is apparent that a future surplus of water exists at all areas below Hagerman, Idaho.1Epson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 8 bit, 1,341,442 byte
