<br />1- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />lands in recent years have adversely affected livestock operations <br /> <br />and increased the need for more farm-grown feed. Many of the farmers <br /> <br />have depressed living standards because of limited agricultural <br />production. <br /> <br />Additional municipal and industrial water is needed to <br /> <br /> <br />meet the requests of local municipalities and communities. This <br /> <br /> <br />need for additional municipal and industrial water is accentuated <br /> <br /> <br />by the population growth anticipated in the years ahead. The already <br /> <br /> <br />important recreational attractions of the area soon will be greatly <br /> <br /> <br />increased with the completion of the Curecanti unit of the Colorado <br /> <br /> <br />River Storage Project. <br /> <br /> <br />Control of flood flows of the Uncompahgre River is needed <br /> <br /> <br />to prevent the inundation of farm lands and frequent channel changes <br /> <br />that now occur during the spring snowmelt period and during heavy <br /> <br />rainstorms. <br /> <br />Under the proposed plan of development, irrigation water <br /> <br />supplies would be increased by an average of 60.300 acre-feet <br /> <br />annually for supplemental service to 8,720 acres of presently irri- <br /> <br />gated land now having inadequate supplies, and for full service <br /> <br />to l4,900 acres of land not now irrigated. Municipal and industrial <br /> <br />supplies averaging 15,000 acre-feet yearly would be provided by the <br /> <br />project. <br /> <br />The Dallas Creek project will cost approximately $39.3 <br /> <br />Dallas Creek Project <br /> <br />-2- <br />
