1/ Lower Colorado River Basin eRSS model does not consider each project separately. TDS pickup is not
broken out by project; it is input on a reach-by-reach (cumulative) basis as part of the base salt load pickup.
l/ Ir = Irrigation assumes an annual salt pickup of 2 tons per acre of newly irrigated lands and none for
lands receiving supplemental irrigation. Ex = Exports remove salt at ~ rate approximating their salinity.
