<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />very high benefit-to-cost ratio. For every dollar spent, <br />tit the project would return between seven and ten dollars in <br />benefits. A Basin-wide operational program could be expected <br />to produce 1.3 million acre-feet of additional water in the <br />Upper Colorado River Basin, 298,000 acre-feet in the Lower <br />Colorado River Basin, and 533,000 acre-feet in adjacent <br />basins. <br /> <br />Colorado River Enhanced Snowpack Test financing is based on <br />an equitable application of the "beneficiary pay" principle. <br />Thus far, the Bureau has invested approximately $56 million <br />in General Investigation funds, with Congressional approval, <br />to investigate and develop wintertime weather modification <br />technology to be demonstrated in the Colorado River Basin. <br />~ Consequently, it is appropriate that the financing for the <br />final adaptation and application of this promising new means <br />of water resource augmentation be provided by the region <br />where the benefits will be realized. The Basin States have <br />expressed their support for the program. <br /> <br />- <br />
