<br />in the Colorado River Basin, in Perspectives on nonpoint source pollution, proceedings

<br />
<br />Two countries and seven States have worked through a maze of conflicting interests
<br />in the Colorado River so that water resources may be used, additional water resources
<br />may be developed, and water quality can be protected. The current success of these
<br />long and extended negotiations should be judged as almost a political miracle. Most
<br />recently, cost sharing for the treatment of nonpoint source agricultural return flows
<br />has been agreed to. By compact and treaty, the waters of the Colorado River have been
<br />divided among the upper and lower basin States and between Mexico and the United
<br />States. Additional water resource development is anticipated in the future.
<br />Previously, studies had indicated that the use of the waters of the Colorado over the
<br />last several decades has increased the salinity of the river in the lower reaches. It is
<br />estimated that 9 million tons of salt will reach Lake Mead each year. To maintain the
<br />salinity levels in the future, it is expected that more than approximately 1 million tons
<br />of salt a year must be removed from the river system.
