In order to account for the for- mation of a valley on the summit of the ridge, that at first was thrown up, it is to be understood that the upper beds suf- fered fracture in the process of upheaval 32 33 and subsequently were exposed to de- nudation. These valleys of elevation are evidently not to be desired as situa- tions for the establishment of storage reservoirs. The area of the gathering grounds will be much more limited than the extent of the water-shed would ap- pear to indicate ; and ...cannot safely be relied upon to give an estimate of the quantity of water that the valley will afford. A certain amount of water will undoubtedly pass over the surface in times of heavy and continued rain, before it can be absorbed; but there is no doubt that of all the water absorbed by the ground, by far the greater portion will follow the inclination of the strata, and come out as springs in the adjoining valleys. Fig. 3 shows a geological section that combines in it favorable and unfavorable conditions for the storage of water.
