<br />Its capacity for conservation storage, if State Bond 60 is raised to make it possi-
<br />ble to store to an elevation of 28.0 ft nisi., will be 200,000 acre feet. With the road at
<br />its eaiating grade levee the capacity is about 100,000 acre lett, this assumes an even-
<br />teal Surface area of 77 c,qurile utiles. At present there is an undeveloped, diked-ofl urea,
<br />of about 11.0 square miles, Due to the limitation on available wetter supply lot the reser-
