APPENDIX I

This appendix summarizes the extension of project depletions published by
the Department of the Interior in the Quality of Water - Colorado River
Basin Progress Report No. 13 - January 1987. The projections for the years
1985 through 2010 which appear in the report, represent the best estimate
by the Bureau of Reclamation of how water use will be developed over the
next 25 years. The projections were made after consultation with
individual States within the Colorado River Basin; however, the States do
not necessarily concur, but do not object, with the projections adopted by
the Bureau for planning purposes. The projections after 2010 were
developed in order to extend depletion levels to their previously assumed
maximums at year 2040. The state shares of the Upper Basin yield and the
remaining water available after use have been adjusted to reflect the
revised 6.0 MAF total yield. upon the approval of this hydrologic
determination, the consumptive use projections will be updated accordingly.
