<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Continued investigation or implementation of one or any combination of the <br />programmatic alternatives in a particular region does not preclude <br />consideration of the remaining alternatives. Certain alternatives, or <br />combinations of alternatives, may be complementary. Thus, development of <br />precipitation management technology does not foreclose, per se, the use or <br />development of other water resource management alternatives. <br /> <br />Several alternatives were discussed by the Commissioner of WPRS at recent <br />congressional hearings [3]. Water and Power has conducted feasibility <br />studies on the development of geothermal resources and providing desalting <br />capability to develop a source of freshwater for augmenting the Colorado <br />. River system. It has been found that use of geothermal brines for augmenting <br />the Colorado River water supply cannot be economically justified unless an <br />energy production purpose can be included in the development. Water and <br />Power's demonstration program to improve management of water delivery systems <br />and onfarm irrigation practices has proven to be an effective conservation <br />tool for existing water supplies. Reservoir evaporation ,suppression has not <br />proven effective. <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />6 <br />
