Abstract: Malad River Watershed was approved by the Water Facilities Board for planning and the Big Malad Segment for operation, at Portland, Oregon, September 28, 1938, and as amended on December 12, 1938. At a conference of the cooperating agencies at Boise, Idaho, on September 16, 1939, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics was requested and agreed to prepare a guidance report for operations on the Big Malad Segment. The principal features presented appear to be, (1) Physical determinations as to practicability of constructing a storage reservoir on Big Malad River, and (2) Economic determinations relating to allowable unit costs for supplemental irrigation water to be provided by the proposed reservoir. This report is intended primarily to indicate conclusions in regard to these two questions. There is included in somewhat summary form, data and discussions leading to these conclusions. General description of the area is given briefly as a background.
