<br /> <br />W <br />N <br />to <br />U. <br /> <br />analysis used, and estimates of the time involved for the effects <br /> <br />to emerge in the lower reach. The IISBR projection is based on <br /> <br />progressive acco~lishment of the projects listed in Table 3 with <br /> <br />completion assumed to occur by the year 2000. <br /> <br />It is si::nificant that all studies by the various 3f!cncies pre- <br /> <br />dieted that proposed developments will cause a considerable increase <br /> <br />in the future salinity of the river. Even under current salinity <br /> <br />conditions. some irrigators arc resorting to special practices in <br /> <br />using the water to crow salt-sensitive crops. Some areas have <br /> <br />drainage conditions which could be magnified if higher salinity <br /> <br />water were used. ~.lunicipal and industrial users are faced ,d th <br /> <br />considerable expense in treating water. It is clear that allowing <br /> <br />the salinity of the river to incr~ase will result in considerable <br /> <br />additional economic injury. <br /> <br />
