<br />The water sales from Ruedi Reservoir will make
<br />available on a firm basis of 51,500 acre-feet
<br />water. This volume of water has been allocated
<br />first to municipal use, then to industrial use.
<br />The resulting split in water allocation is ap-
<br />proximately 20 percent municipal and 80 percent
<br />industrial. Municipal requests will be met from
<br />Ruedi Reservoir almost entirely, while indus-
<br />trial requests may be only partially satisfied.
<br />In general, Ruedi Reservoir offers a reliable
<br />source of water for the development of mineral
<br />resources, but may be unable to completely
<br />satisfy all projected demands.
