Item I directs the Water <br />Conservation Board to review and analyze salt loading information <br />on the Colorado River Basin in Colorado and identify conflicts or <br />gaps as they exist in that information. To allow for a more <br />orderly presentation of this information, the Colorado River <br />Basin in Colorado was divided into the fOllowing seven subbasins: <br />Yampa River, White River, Colorado River to Cameo, Grand Valley, <br />Gunnison River, Dolores River, and San Juan River tributaries. <br /> <br />The review and analysis of salt loading information initiated <br />during the second quarter was concluded midway through the third <br />quarter after which work began on the narrative. Each subbasin <br />discussion is introduced by a geographic description of the area <br />as well as a brief description of subbasin land use practices. <br />The introductions are followed by a brief summary of salt loading <br />information from each of the various sources. Conflicts or gaps <br />in information are considered in concluding each subbasin <br />discussion. Total average salt yields for Colorado River Basin <br />lands in Colorado during different time periods are presented in <br />a table at the end of the report. <br /> <br />Site visits to two ongoing salinity control projects also <br />accounted for part of the third quarter's work activities.
