Point <br />sources of salinity should be investigated to determine if dual benefits could be <br />achieved from construction and operation of projects that remove the salt and <br />provide viable water supply sources. Also, there may be opportunities through <br />forbearance agreements or other arrangements to obtain dual benefits of reducing <br />salinity in the Colorado River and augmenting or supplementing the available <br />supply for intrastate and interstate drought and shortage water management <br />programs. <br /> <br />On-farm and delivery system improvements for salinity control in the Basin also <br />serve as a supply enhancement. Such salinity control measures conserve water at <br />the source by improving irrigation efficiencies and again subsequently <br />downstream by providing improved salinity thereby allowing for greater water <br />recycling opportunities. <br /> <br />AUTHORITY: (identitY existing or new) <br />COST: <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br />ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT: (categorical exclusionlEIS/other) <br />ENVIRONMENTAL OR ESA ISSUES: <br />NEED FOR RULES AND REGULATIONS: <br /> <br />-15- <br />
