Show 3. If the Utes withdraw from the Deferral Agreement, and are sble to do this legally, *r:d remaining projects of the CUT are scranped, how c-n 'Indians and non-Indiens hen proceed to work out needs for w^ter of all the entities in N,E. Utah7 - water for oil shale development, tar sands, or coal, then proposed nuclear power plants - water for growing an4new communities based en energy development in the Uintah Basin • - water for Indian purposes: growth and development, as well as instream flow protection ( Otft* might se// or lease ^ w a t e r) - water for recreation purposes in tributary Rivers of the Colorado If the Utes quantify their water needs based on "State of the Art" methodologies, as opposed to their most recent demand for 500,000-a feet of Utah's water entitlement, what bargaining positio.n do they have? 1.
