1/ From Tables UC-1, UC-3, LC-1, and LC-2.
2/ Includes livestock water use and stockpond evaporation.
3/ Includes water uses for thermal electric power generation and mineral resources.
4/ Reservoir evaporation represents mainstem reservoir evaporation in the Upper Basin and mainstream
reservoir evaporation and channel losses below Lee Ferry in the Lower Basin. Exports outside system repre-
sents water passing to Mexico.
