<br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />.... <br />Gr) There is universal agreement that the water supply of the <br />en <br />--J" Colorado River is inadequate to meet developing 'demands. There <br /> <br />is furth:er widespread agreement that augmentation of the natural <br /> <br />flows o~ tile river will be necessary, not only as a solVtion to <br /> <br />the risi:ng water demands, hut as H solution also to the contro- <br /> <br />versie~ iLvolving the disposition and full use oE Colorado <br /> <br />River runoff. <br /> <br />Of the four principal potentials for augmenting Colorado <br /> <br />River water supply--ctesalting of sea water, surface water imports <br /> <br />from basins of surplus water supply, weather modification, and <br /> <br />water salvage measures--only the first two offer potentials of <br /> <br />the magnitude necessary for adequate long-range solutions. <br /> <br />Weather modification and water salvage measures may well provide <br /> <br />the cheapest means of producing additional water supplies. As <br /> <br />SUCII, these potentials should be fully explored and exploited <br /> <br />before more costly agumentation works are undertaken. There <br /> <br />are limi.tations, however, on the amounts of new water available <br /> <br />from these sources. Sooner of later, recourse must be made <br /> <br />either to the unlimited seas or to surface water imports if <br /> <br />the foreseeable water needs of the Colorado River Basiu are to <br /> <br />be met. <br /> <br />While the physical aspects of surface water imports should <br /> <br />pose no exceptional problems, the institutional problems at this <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />
