The text has been appropria- <br />tely changed. <br /> <br />A complete survey of prospect i ve water users was <br />conducted by the Bureau of Reclamation (see <br />Appendix A). The survey identified the amount <br />of water the user was request i ng, divers i on <br />capacity, existing water rights, and anticipated <br />demand pattern. In revi ewi ng the survey, no <br />prospective buyers were identified whose demand <br />pattern resembled the "No Action" release <br />pattern. In addition to reviewing the survey <br />of prospective buyers, potential uses of water <br />that might result in purchase of water following <br />the "No Action" release pattern were explored. <br />No users were identified that followed this <br />pattern. <br /> <br />..... <br />..... <br /> <br />'" <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />... <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />... <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />- <br />
