In fact, we estimate that this would proba- <br /> <br />bl'cbe'at a ratio of almost four to one, the added revenues <br /> <br />from Glen Canyon power plant alone as compared with the cost <br /> <br />of the demonstration portion of the project. <br /> <br />Q And in short, Mr. Tyner, would you say that in <br /> <br />your judgment and opinion that there could possibly be a <br /> <br />great economic benefit to the State of Colorado. and the <br /> <br />people of the State,o.f Colorado if in fact Mr. Hjermstad's <br /> <br />project is successful? <br /> <br />A <br />Q <br /> <br />Yes, I do; <br /> <br />And isn't it true, Mr. Tyner, that whenever yo.u <br /> <br />14 have an amount of increase -- I mean, an increase in, a per- <br /> <br />15 centage increase in the water supply in a water-short area <br /> <br />16 like southwestern Colorado that you do in fact have an <br /> <br />17 increase 'in the production on the family farms? <br /> <br />]8 <br />19 <br />20 <br />21 <br />22 <br />23 <br />24 <br />25 <br /> <br />A <br /> <br />Right. Looking at the Colorado River as a whole, <br /> <br />it would be very comparable to the Rio Grande benefits in <br /> <br />that there would be virtually none of this water that w9uld <br /> <br />be lost to the Pacific Ocean, that it would be used and <br /> <br />reused as it, goes. through. the Upper CoIQra,dqR,iyer Ba,:;;.i;:J. ( <br /> <br />the Lower Colorado River Basin, and, of course, N~ ~exico. <br /> <br />MR. MAYNES: That's all the question:;;. I have of <br /> <br />Mr. Tyner, Mr. Hearing Officer. <br />
