MR. RRWWICK* Q. fou recognise* of course, that an «- cessiv® or extravagant use by the population slmultanooualy would be a very great contributing factor of the lowering of pressure all along the line* A. lea* MR. SMITH* Q, Mr. Anderson* referring to this question of storage, assuming that there is an adequate supply of under­ground water, which is natural storage* that a large part of the Water Company’s supply is socurod by pumping from ground water storage* wouldn’t Increasing the pumping capacity dc away to a large extent with any additional surface storage, in the way of reservoirsi that is, at times of heavy consumption^ increasing and pumping mere water frost the ground, would off-set the neces­sity of constructing new reservoirs, assuming that the ground water is there, and adequate? A. les, assuming that the ground water is adequate and would not reach a diminishing point. The reservoir capacity
