<br />~ <br />~ <br />~ Colorado River Indian Reservation AZ (BR/USDA) - Not Recommended <br />~ <br />Reclamation's appraisal level study of the reservation found <br />that it did not add sufficient soluble material to the <br />Colorado River to warrant further study. Therefore, a <br />concluding report was issued in October 1979. <br /> <br />A Cooperative River Basin Study has been completed by USDA <br />on the Colorado River Indian Reservation. Data available <br />from this study support the hypothesis that a minimal amount <br />of salt is picked up on the Reservation and that long-term <br />benefits of better irrigation systems and practices appear <br />to have a relatively small effect on downstream salinity. <br />The final USDA report on the study, Water Conservation and <br />Resource Development, Colorado River Indian Reservation, <br />which did not identify a recommended plan, was recently <br />published and distributed under authority of Section 6 of <br />the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (Public <br />Law 83-566). <br /> <br />Blue Sprinqs AZ <BR) - Not Recommended <br /> <br />Because of the environmental objections and the significant <br />historical and religious value of the area to the Hopi <br />Indians, together with the expected high capital cost of the <br />project, further studies for the project have not been <br />recommended. <br /> <br />30 <br />
