feasible and adequate dam site exists at the Bonsall
Narrows for a flood control dam on said San Luis Rey
River, whereby the terminal flow of intermittent flood
waters could be retarded and released into the Mission
Basin at a rate which would protect the adequacy and
stability of the domestic water supply of the Carlsbad
Mutual Water Company from destructive flood damage,
and would allow substantial quantities of said flood
waters to be saved from being wasted, and whereby they
would be spread and dumped into the Mission Basin for
the purpose of conserving and protecting the domestic
water supply that serves a large portion of the City of
Carlsbad; and
