Notes:
Lakes and ponds are “stored” waters or a water bank “principal,” the interest being the diffused surface waters, underground waters, and natural streams or water courses depositing in the “storage.” The natural use of “surface water” or waters able to be seen, has been for the most part the major concern of water bankers, but the time has come to put the “vault storage” into circulation and make it a part of the “money flow.”Ground water can be removed for use in amounts depending in part on the quantity of water in the underground storage reservoir. A ground-water reservoir must be “drawn down” to cause its greatest efficiency. The rate of depletion of the various natural resources makes it mandatory that we use our “water bank account capital” where such use can provide benefits to mankind not otherwise available, where such “capital” depletion is over a sufficiently long period to allow adjustment prior to complete depletion, and where the cost of capital for such use can be amortized over an acceptable period of time.
