<br />001496 . <br /> <br />-----J <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The supply to the City. of Mexicali has always been from superficial waters from the <br /> <br /> <br />Colorado River. Even though, according to CNA, Mexicalihas been assigned <br /> <br /> <br />subterraneous waters from the San Luis Sandy Bed Watershed. Beyond the city's <br /> <br /> <br />demand for water, we will. need to increase 16% for loss in transportation and <br /> <br /> <br />evaporation, and according to the CNA, they are in the district's major irrigation network, <br /> <br />which means we require: <br /> <br />Total Cost. = 3.611 <br />(1 - 0.16) <br /> <br />= <br /> <br />4,299 lis <br /> <br />. Additional Cost = 4,299 - 2,600 <br /> <br />= <br /> <br />1,699 lis <br /> <br />It <br /> <br />According to the CNA, the. only option to increase the allotment to this city is to acquire <br /> <br />irrigation rights. <br /> <br />. . <br />. If we capture Colorado River water and guide it to the city through an enclosed conduct, <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />water loss due to evaporation will be avoided (16%). Another option worthy of <br />..exploration for its legal feasibility would be to capture the water from the All American <br /> <br />. . . . <br /> <br />canal located near the Mexicali Checkpoint 1\ (Garita II), and channel it to the Calles <br /> <br />. . . <br /> <br />. Colony for a purification purposes (potable process):. This would be the least expensive <br /> <br />. . <br />option.. Further, the qualityoftheAII American canal water contains a smaller amount <br /> <br />olsolids that could become sediment, and a smaller amount of dissolved solids. This <br /> <br />suggests a lower cost for the purification process. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />10 <br />
