Show PART III FUTURE DEMANDS State Alternatives Three alternatives in addition to the regional interpretation of OBE-ERS have been suggested and incorporated in the General Program and Alternatives Appendix. The total regional depletion requirement for the first level is 6.5 million acre-feet (m.a.f.) in 2020. This alternative is a reapportionment of water as developed from the translation of the regionally interpreted OBE-ERS projections. The second alternative is set at a regional depletion level of 8.16 million acre-feet in 2020, and the third alternative is for the water supply available at the site of use. The justifications for these three alternatives are given in the General Program and Alternatives Appendix. Table 30, 31 and 32, however, summarize the municipal and industrial (M&I) depletions. Figure 2 shows the comparisons of the three alternatives with the level developed in this appendix.
