Why have no provisions been made for permanent replacement of water lost in <br />the effluent (brine) stream from the desalting plant? <br /> <br />. Where will the Federal government obtain power to run the desalting plant? <br /> <br />. Will the desalting plant work?24 <br /> <br />To the first three questions, P.L. 93-320 (based on H.R. 12165), provided partial answers. Title <br />II, authorizing a basin-wide salinity control program, was added, though the Executive Branch <br />has never shown any enthusiasm for funding the projects in the program. The Congress <br />declared in the Act that replacement of the brine stream from the desalting plant was a national <br />obligation, but was silent on possible sources of replacement water. (The Federal government <br />does not, in fact, own any water in the Colorado River Basin.) It further declared that use of <br />power for the desalting plant and other Title I works must not diminish the supply available to <br />preference customers, but again failed to specify power sources (although these were later <br />identified by the Bureau of Reclamation). <br /> <br />Seventeen years later, the answer to the last question is still unknown. <br /> <br />II <br />
