<br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />TASK E9.0 WATER DEMANDS <br /> <br />Purnose: Modify the cropping patterns used in the initial Phase I Study to more closely represent <br /> <br /> <br />current cropping practices and adjust irrigation water demand estimates accordingly. <br /> <br />MethodoloIN: Suggested modifications to the cropping patterns used in the study were received from study <br />area irrigators. These SuggestioDS generally recommended that the cropping patterns used for <br /> <br />the study more closely represent current cropping practices. The cropping patterns for all <br /> <br /> <br />service areas will be reviewed and revised to more closely reflect the cropping patterns <br /> <br /> <br />desired. The revised cropping patterns will be submitted to the presidents of the respective <br /> <br /> <br />ditch companies and the County Extension Agent for review and concurrence. Irrigation <br /> <br /> <br />water demand estimates will be revised accordingly to reflect changes made to the cropping <br /> <br /> <br />patterns. The revised irrigation water demands will be used for all new alternatives <br /> <br /> <br />investigated, and the analyses conducted for Alternatives G, 1., and W as reported in the <br /> <br /> <br />Interim Report will be revised to reflect the new cropping patterns. Unless otherwise <br /> <br /> <br />specified, the assumptions, procedures, and techniques used for the initial Phase I Study will <br /> <br /> <br />be used to estimate the revised water demands. No additional work will be performed for <br /> <br /> <br />municipal and industrial (M&I) water demands. <br /> <br />The following work items are included in the water demands tasks: <br /> <br />21 <br />
