M& I users <br />would be allocated from 190,242 acre-feet (1985) to 719,992 <br />acre-feet (2034).

During shortages, CAP deliveries are reduced until <br />exhausted to all miscellaneous and non-Indian irrigation uses, then <br />10 percent of the Indian irrigation amount is reduced until <br />exhausted. Finally, the remaining Indian irrigation and tribal <br />homeland amounts are reduced pro-rata with no more than 510,000 <br />acre-feet of M&I uses, based on amount of water actually del ivered <br />to each entity in the most recent past year of full deliveries. <br /> <br />4.
