V ’/• Las Vegas - October 14, 1948 W 2>1-C S Mr. Wm. Reinhardt: Your letter October 12th, regarding water with­drawals from the underground channel: 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 Engineer's 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 1946j it was thought that there was cause for alarm, especially If the with­drawals continued to increase in proportion. However, the 194? figures indicate a alight de­crease, although still in excess of the estimated re­charge rate*;. A. M. Folger
