<br />Section 5 <br />Consumptive Water Needs in the North Platte Basin <br />'.1111 <br /> <br />Generally, the cost of water development exceeds the <br />ability of agriculture to pay for the development of <br />additional water supplies. As a result, it may not be <br />practical or cost-effective to attempt to develop water <br />supply alternatives for areas having agricultural water <br />shortages unless multi-purpose projects could be <br />developed. Section 9 lists potential options for reducing <br />agricultural shortages that have been identified during <br />the process. Funding and ability to pay must be <br />addressed if any of these projects are to be developed. <br /> <br />CONI <br /> <br />5-12 <br /> <br />S:\1177\BASIN REPORTS\NORTH PLATTElS5_NORTH PLATTE.
