IComputed using Method A by su;:;tracting annual lOud, in tons, of 091:30000 Dolores River near Cisco, Ut.;:ih, ,from annl.OCll load, in tons,
of 09180500 colorado River near Cisco, Utah, and dividing the an;;lJal acre-feet of 09180500 Colorado River near Cisco, Utah, r.1inus
the acre-feet of 0918000Q Dolores River near Cisco, Utah.
