2 GJ2234 Colorado River Water Salvage Palmdale Project, California Santa Margarita River Project San Luis Division, Central Valley Project, California Trinity River Division, Central Valley Project, California Calleguas Basin Reconnaissance Report, California Arizona-Colorado River Diversions Projects, Arizona Inventory of Water Resources, Arizona Alternative Plans for Import from Northern California and for Desalting Plants . The following descriptive material and drawings present the alternative routes for importing surplus northern California water to the Southwest areas. More detailed information on the import plan from the Lower Eel River and the Lake Havasu Aqueduct, and the desalting alternative is also included. Seven alternative import routes show the relationship to demands and proposed facilities for the East Side Division, Central Valley Project with the conveyance of 1,200,000 acre-feet of supplemental water for southern California obtained from proposed storage reservoirs on Trinity River and South Fork Trinity River. The material also describes the features required and accomplishments obtained within the Central Valley Basin in California under each alternative plan. The Pacific Southwest Water Plan contemplates that conveyance of the initial supply of 1,200,000 acre-feet in the Phase 1 program would be through an incremental enlargement of the California Aqueduct reflected in alternative plans 2 and 3. . Following the discussion of the seven alternative methods of conveying the initial 1,200,000 acre-feet, there is a description of the proposed means of conserving and conveying an additional 1,200,000 acre-feet to Lake Havasu. The storage reservoirs con- templated for this supply are on the Lower Eel River in the North Coastal section of California. The desalting alternative as a prospective source of water supply for the Pacific Southwest area also is discussed.
