Show PART VI FRAMEWORK PLAN AND ALTERNATIVES New Mexico, in order to stay within its 11.25-percent apportionment of the 6.55 million acre-foot level of development, changed its uses in- volving a net decrease of 9,500 acre-feet annually. A large reduction, 51,200 acre-feet, resulted from an arbitrary programed reduction in in- stalled generating capacity. However, mineral production would materi- ally increase, and an additional municipal and industrial use of 11,800 acre-feet would be required to serve a population increase of 64,500. Utah desired that a much greater portion of its potential thermal- electric power production be included and projected an additional 11,700 megawatts to be installed. This required a support population of 26,000 people. Utah also added an oil shale industry with a capacity of 500,000 barrels-per-day with a support population of 39,000 people. In order to stay within its 23-percent allotment, Utah revised downward its irrigation acreage (-10,500 acres) and likewise revised downward (-200,000 acre-feet annually) its export to the Bonneville Basin. Wyoming also suggested no changes in its type of uses but revised its irrigation depletions downward 900 acre-feet per annum to stay ex- actly within its l4-percent allotment. Economic impact The regional input-output model was used to measure the economic im- pact of the states' alternative plan. Figures are tabulated below for the resulting population, employment, personal income, and gross regional product.
