The losses associated with that, delivery <br />-.J <br />[Jre functions of the magnitude of the Welter losses Dn the lO\ver <br /> <br />river. BElsed on BUreal! of Reclbmatinn estimates, tIle total net <br /> <br />losses On tllL' Colorado River below Lee Ferry after all 'W~:lter <br /> <br />sulvage measures arc in effect will average about 1,550,000 acre- <br /> <br />feet per year. The pro rata share of losses associated witll the <br /> <br />Mexican W;Jtl'L delivery, weighted as to point of delivery, is <br /> <br />300,000 acre-{,'et. Thus, of the 2.0 m.a.f. which the Bureau of <br /> <br />Reclamati on estimates to be necessary to augment the COlOYcldo <br /> <br />River to assure 7.5 m.Bof. for the Lower Basin, 108 moaof. would <br /> <br />be associated with delivery of water ~o Mexico. <br /> <br />Should the losses prove to be greater and 2.5 m.aof. <br /> <br />Clugrncntation be necessary, the pro rata share associated with <br /> <br />the Mexican water delivery would also be greater. In this event, <br /> <br />it is estimated the associated losses would be 430,000 ~lcre-fect, <br /> <br />for a total of 1.93 moa.fo, identified with the Mexican water <br /> <br />deliveryo <br /> <br />Financial <br /> <br />The financial feasibility of the augmentation plan presented <br /> <br />herein looks, in large measure, to the enactment of provisions in <br /> <br />pending Colorado River Basin Project legislation. <br /> <br />Mexican Treaty ObJ.igation--Pending legislation, as embodied <br /> <br />in ILR. 3300 and similar bills, declares that the satisfaction of <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />',.- <br /> <br />
