This water would have to treated to <br />bring it up to required standards for municipal and domestic use. <br />Untreated or partially treated return flow reduces the quality <br />ana quantity of game fisb, and may reduce the desirability of the <br />water for swimming and boating. <br /> <br />Questions.: :Should w~ter continue to ~e .used as <br />. a .too"l 'tci..::p%:omot.e :.:~ban development?:. :~How. :muc:h <br />.wa ter. : .should ci ti~s. .be able to acquire .1:Jeyond. <br />.their .current.'.rieeds'? ..How much 'wat.er "do.. .cittes <br />: . . ::cri~rert.t,ly': ;p~1.....::;:"AZ-~.. :there al t.ernatiye::::;ii1~ti,. t~~..: <br />... . i:;l.oJla i": It\echan..t:~m.s :::.>~q. ...~nsu~~ .'Si~.Q~gh:t:. :~j.ip.~ties .f or <br />.ci.ties?

At the same time, good dam <br />and reservoir sites are becoming scarcer, as is political and <br />financial support for their construction. These trends have led <br />to an increase in the purchase of water rights to be transferred <br />to new locations and used in new ways. Frequently, these water <br />rights are agricultural water rights p~r~based by municipalities <br />tor. qrban use. <br /> <br />4 <br />
