Show PART VI FRAMEWORK PLAN AND ALTERNATIVES Utah -would increase its use by irrigated crops 10,700 acre-feet over v the frame-work plan and irrigate about 1+01,200 acres by 2020. There are no changes in fish and wildlife, recreation, or stock-pond evaporation and livestock use. Export to the Great Basin by 2020 would increase to 1+1+7,000 acre-feet, which is 20,000 acre-feet less than the framework plan. Major changes are increased thermal-electric power to 19,500 megawatts installed capacity and increased mineral activity, including mining coal for powerplants, a million barrel-per-day shale oil output, processing oil-impregnated sandstone, and conversion of coal. Wyoming's development includes a substantial increase in the mineral industry, including a million barrel-per-day shale oil production, de- pleting 97,000 acre-feet of water, and conversion of coal. Trona plant capacity would continue to increase. Population would increase to lU8,000 by the year 2020. The agricultural base of irrigated land would increase to 513,300 acres by the year 2020. Thermal-electric power installed capacity is estimated at almost 10,000 megawatts. Transbasin diversions to the North Platte are estimated at 153,000 acre-feet, which is a 32,000-acre-foot reduction from the frame- work plan. Economic impact Economic impacts were estimated by use of the regional input-output model.
