Manning Bay Projec
:
This
pro-
ject would
require
a 3,000
acre
foot
re-
|
servoir
for
the trrigatiop
of 1,000
acres
I
of land.
Such
reservoir
would
require
{
a maximum heig it of dam
above ground
surtace
of BU
iect and
a
erest
length
of
1,250 feet.
No estunate
has
been
made
on this project
and its construction
is rot
i
a-lvised for reasons
stated
in
paragraph
20-

70.
Salt River Project: This project
|
proposes
a reservoir with its dam located
l
just below the h2ad
of a
narrow bay
10l
l
cally known
as "'Salt
River’’-See
Plates
'
A’ and 9. Though
the
tee
of the
cum
!
would
be
a few fert
below
sea
Jevel
it is
|
weil
protected
from
wave
action by an
.
outlying reef.
Tne drainage
area
above
|
this site
1s fairly
good-about
three
sq.
[
mi. of mountain
area
in addition
to some
|
valley land,-and
the reservoir site is pro-
‘
bably the best
on the island provided
the
.
dam foundation
is
favorable.,
However
it appears
from
the
data available
that
the rainfall in this basin
lis less
than
for
the
others
considered.,
and,
therefore,
