<br />The Stanford Research Institute Study estimated 1480 million m3 <br />(1.2 million acre-ft) would also be produced outside the Colorado <br />River Basin by seeding within the Basin. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The NAWC (North American Weather Consultants) study and other <br />estimates indicate an additional potential of 576 million m3 <br />(467,000 acre-ft) outside the Basin, and about 368 million m3 <br />(298,000 acre-ft) in the Lower Colorado River Basin (fig. 3 ). <br />TheNAWC study categorized augmentation potential by broad mountain <br />ranges which include the major runoff areas both within and outside <br />the Colorado River Basin. The principal rivers receiving additional <br />runoff from these ranges are shown in Table 3. <br /> <br />Table 3.
