<br />'. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />W <br />i- <br />00 ' <br />~ <br /> <br />water quality parameters, such as nutrient loads, trace metals, <br /> <br />and bacterial loads, were analyzed. A change in the nutrients <br /> <br />and trace metals could influence downstream organisms. <br /> <br />Social Impacts <br /> <br />Normally, any circumstances inducing major monetary or economic <br /> <br />impacts can expect to generate derivative impacts in the social <br />sector. Earlier it was indicated that there would be economic <br /> <br />impacts in reduction of energy, increases in salinity, agricultural <br /> <br />industries, and regional earnings. It is expected that these <br /> <br />economic impacts would correspondingly induce very minute social <br /> <br />impacts. The reason for this is that the effects are ~iewed to be <br /> <br />so dispersed on both a time and a per capita basis throughout the <br />Lower Colorado River Service Area that the.individual and community <br />impacts are thought to be negligible or unidentifiable. Certainly <br /> <br />no drastic or moderate impacts are foreseen on values, lifestyles, <br /> <br />or community organization. The only possible exceptions would be <br /> <br />to specific entities where the impacts would not be dispersible <br /> <br />throughout the regional service area. For example, fluctuations in <br /> <br />flows might have an impact on recreationalists and concessionaires. <br /> <br />28 <br />
