<br /> <br />001502 <br />United States Department of the Interior <br /> <br />IN REPLY REFER TO: <br /> <br />BUREAU OF REClAMATION <br />Lower Colorado Regional Office <br />P.O. Box 61470 <br />Boulder City, NV 89006-1470 <br /> <br /> <br />- <br />. <br /> <br />LC-460 Apt!. <br />WTR-4.10 """. <br /> <br />To: All Interested Persons <br />ACTING <br />From: Regional Supervisor of Water, Land, and Power <br /> <br />Subject: Estimate of 1993 Colorado River Water Use (Water Accounting) <br /> <br />Enclosed are the forecasts of 1993 water use for all users in the lower basin. <br />The forecast currently indicates that total mainstream Colorado River water use <br />by Lower Division States is below the 7.5 million acre-foot limit established in <br />the Annual Operating Plan for 1993. <br /> <br />Projected 1993 water use is based on actual use during January through March <br />1993, users' historical use patterns, and scheduled use provided by users. The <br />projected use for each user is being provided so that water users can monitor <br />their.use of water and avoid any overuse during the year. Because seasonal <br />agricultural requirements can vary significantly from year to year, it is <br />emphasized that all users should promote water conservation and plan to keep <br />water use within their annual entitlement. <br /> <br />We expect the actual use data contained in the projections will provide the basis. <br />for the "Compilation of Records in Accordance with Article V of the Supreme Court <br />of the United States in Arizona v. California" (Article V records) for calendar <br />year 1993. As a result, we are asking that each user review the actual use data <br />and notify us if any of the records appear to have errors. Your review of the <br />accuracy of the records during the year will help us complete the final Article V <br />records in a timely fashion. The final 1993 Article V records will be used to <br />determine, among other things, the extent to which any individual user of <br />Colorado River water may have exceeded their entitlement. In such cases, the <br />final records will serve as the basis for requiring reductions in water use in <br />future years in order to offset any such inadvertent overruns that may have <br />occurred. <br /> <br />For any further information concernin9 our water use accounting and projection <br />process, please contact Mr. Alden Briggs at 702-293-8677. <br /> <br />Enclosure <br /> <br /> <br />_".'.'...'''''':"''''y;t'''~''74:\:\ <br />\\'+. ,....,.....\' <br /> <br />\:,,-,;;-.. .................-~::-=.~C.\~, <br /> <br />,-.r'-- <br />., " <br />\\\\ ~1 <br />'\<:: \ "-"""~~:.z:;";;..~-;:;;..-'" <br />\j \, \ -.<------<""'.-' - <br />t,.:;;~"-~ <br />
