Abstract
The gates in the by-pass tunnels at Boulder Dam (Arizona-Nevada) were closed February 1, 1935, and the storing of water and sediment began. In ten years following that date some 1,500 million tons of sediment passed the Bright Angel silt-sampling and gaging station in the Grand Canyon, in Arizona. Virtually all of this sediment was arrested by Boulder Dam. There is also an added contrib ution from the 30,000 sq miles of drainage area between the Grand Canyon Station and Boulder Dam.
