Show SUMMARY (Continued) The following table compares water resources development for five levels of development. Virgin water supply is estimated at 14.87 million acre-feet. The five average annual levels of depletion are shown by type of use, state, and subregion. The levels of development first studied include the present (1965) and the framework plan "Regionally Interpreted OBERS," which was determined as the region's logical contribution to meet national needs. Three additional alter- natives were developed to reflect capability of the region to supply goods and services not fully evaluated in the OBERS projections. (1) States' alternative plan based on the availability of 6.545 million acre-feet of water. This plan utilized the same amount of water as the Framework Plan (regionally interpreted OBERS) development with primary shifts in power, export, minerals, and irrigation within states transfers in power between states and new uses for oil shale and coal by-products. (2) States1 alternative plan based on depletion of 8.16 million acre-feet of water plus delivery of an average 7.5 million acre-feet at Lee Ferry. The plan assumes the Colorado River water supply will be firmed to meet the division of water by both the Colorado River Compact and the Upper Colorado River Compact, and that the Mexican Treaty delivery plus associated losses would be a national obligation. Most of the increased depletion will occur in minerals, irrigation, and export. (3) States1 alternative plan depleting 9.44 million acre-feet based on use of water which is physically available at the project site without considering political or legal restrictions. Substantial augmentation would be required to meet Colorado River Compact require- ments of the lower basin. Outflow for the five levels of development varies from 11.4 million acre-feet at present to 5.4 million acre-feet, using the 1914-65 water supply and assuming no augmentation. li |
