What reading level is The Colorado River And Arizonas Interest in Its Development book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Glen Canyon, or Lee's Ferry, site outclasses all other pro- posed sites in its gigantic possibilities. The maximum development contemplates a dam 700 feet high, 450 feet long at the level of the river, and 1400 feet long on top. The proposed slopes are one to six downstream and one to four upstream, making the length of base up and down stream over a mile. . The capacity of the reservoir would be over 50, 000, 000 acre- feet, and 86 percent of the entire water sup- ply of the Colorado basin... would be regulated completely. Over a million continuous horsepower could be developed without sacrifice of irrigation interests. Complete surveys of the reservoir site have been marie during the last few months. No test borings have been made, and it is stated that the depth to bedrock is not a crucial matter on account of the radical character of the dam contemplated. Test borings should be made at once.
Excellent dam sites exist in Cataract Canyon and Marble Canyon. The project for Marble Canyon provides for a power development of 1, 300, 000 horsepower, but the storage possibilities are small.
