BY DONALD A. CRAIG Meny years before it #ary to find more water for Washington City a serious situation may arise in | some part of the region surrounding | the city, in the opinion of the Joint | Water Committee which has been mak- | ing a study of future water needs under the chairmanship of Lieut. Col. U. S.| Grand, 3d. direct National | rd Planning Commission id growth in population | n Arlington County, Va., for instance, { the question of enlarging the pipe-line facilities at Chain Bridge, by which that county is served with water from the Digtrict of Columbia system, may become critical, according to the com- mittee. The members of the committee from Arlington County believe that it is best for the county to continue to depend on co-operation with the Federal Gov- ernment and the District of Columbia | for future water supply becorges neces- Must Share Expansion Costs. the com- mittee in its preliminary report, “that siuch co-operation will involve sharing in the cost of expansion of the Dis- triet facilities, because the present sup- ply is sufficient for all foreseeable needs | of the District alone, but is insufficient | to supply both the District and Arling- | ton County.” It has been proposed that additional water for Arlington County be drawn | from the Potomac River at Little Falls, just above Chain Bridge. but this sug- gestion has not met with the approval of the Arlington County members of the Water Committee. Joint action of | all authorities, or at least fhose of the | Federal Government and Arlington County. to supply that county and the City of Washington from the Potomac | River at Great Falls is the plan that has the greatest appeal to. the repre- | sentatives of Arlington County who | have made a study of the problem. | An estimated steady growth in the| population of the District of Columbia | and the surrounding portions of Ma land and Virginia will be the drtrrmm»i ing factor in the future demand for water in this region, according to the view of the committee. Industrial Usage Less Vital Here, In any other city but this the in- erease in the use of water for manu- facturing and industrial purposes would have to be taken into consideration as well, but. the committee does not be- Tieve that is necessary in Washington and its environs because of the com- | paratively small amount of water used, or likely ever to be used, here for such purposes. The committee has proceeded: upon the theory that Washington will con- tinue to be chiefly a residential city and will not become a manufacturing or_industrial center Careful estimates of the probable popu- lation increase. based upon past experi- ence here and the growth of other cities, have been made by the committee for | the whole Washington area. It is esti- mated that the population of the Dis- trict of Columbia in 1955 will be 853,000 and in 1880 it will be 1,200,000 persons. This would mean, it is estimated, a consumption of 119 million gallons of | water per day in 1955 and 168 million gallons per day in 1980 For Arlington County, Va., the popu- lation in 1955 is placed at 138,000 and the water consumption at 19.32 million gallons per day. In 1980 it is placed at 452,000 persons and 63.32 mnnon,; gallons’ per day. The population of Alexandria City in 1955 15 estimated at 35.000 and the water consumption at 4.92 million gal- | lons per day. In 1980 the population | is placed at 45000 and the water con- sumption 6.3 million gallons per day. Fairfax County Growth timated. Fairfax County is given a population of 34.000 and a water con- sumption of 4.62 million gallons per | day. The figures for 1980 are 44,000 Bopulation and 6.16 million galions per y. The Washington Suburban Sanitary District, including portions of both Montgomery and Prince Georges Coun- | ties, Md., adjacent to the boundaries | of the District of Columbia, is given | a population in 1955 of 188,000 and a ‘water consumption of 26.32 million gal- Jons per day.

Stevens of Detroit, secretary of the Radiological Research Institute, re- is estimated at 450,000 and the water consumption at 6.3 million gallons per day. The population of the remaining por- tions of Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties included 'in the estimate is placed at 55,000 in 1955, with a water consumption of 7.7 million gallons per day, and in 1980 the population is es- timated at 65000, with a water con- sumption of 9.10 million gallons per day.

The estimated total population in 1980 is 2,256,000 with a water consumption of 315.84 million gallons per day. Figure on 140 Gallons to Person. In all cases the committee estimates the consumption of water on the basis of 140 gallons a day for every person, which is considerably in excess of the figures are used as “an indication of a | possibility rather than a forecast of a probability,” and are tentative, since some estimate is necessary in order to proceed with the discussion of the problem. “If these figures are compared with the amount of water available from present sources of water supp! de- es the committee, “it is seen that ources must be found, or more ef- fective use made of cxisting sources within the next 50 years.

But we cannot go that high for, we lack the tubes to stand it.” Dr. Lauritzen and his associates said they ‘were procuring X-rays with more than 600,000 volts.
