The model was then <br /> <br />operated to determine hydrologic conditions expected in the Lower <br /> <br />Region as a result of incremental EET development in the Upper <br />Region. Impacts stemming from three alternative rates of EET <br />development were projected to the years 1985 and 2000. These were a <br /> <br />zero rate, a medium or base level rate, and an accelerated rate of <br /> <br />EET development. These alternative rates of EET development were <br /> <br />specified by DOE. <br /> <br />9 <br />
