In these figures, water <br />demands for agencies not responding to the surveyor not provid- <br />ing water demand projections were estimaled based on a 0,25 ac- <br />fUyr per capita water demand, Figures 15 to 20 indicate thaI in <br />generallhe water providers have M & I demand projections which <br />agree with projected population increases developed by the State, <br /> <br />5-5 <br /> <br />~.
