w 23-1 -c Mr. Wa. Eeinbardt: Xocr letter October 12 th, regarding water withdrawals from the underground channels I had reference to the total withdrawals and not merely the amount used by the Water Company. Attached is copy of withdrawals by years, compiled by the State aigineerU office. He estimates the total recharge to the southern part of Las Vegas Valley to be 30,000 acre-feet annually, and when it was found that the withdrawals exceeded this figure in 1946, it was thought that there was cause for alarm, especially if the withdrawals continued to Increase in proportion* However, the 194? figures indicate a slight decrease, although still in excess of the estimated recharge rate. Laa Vegas - October 14, 1948 A, M, Folger
