oderate rowt - This scenario assumes a somewhat higher level of growth in the study area. Major irrigation system im ovements would result in a change in cropping, patterns from predominantly feed crops to a greater amount of ~ash crops and a resultant increase in agricultur,e-related employment. Agriculture-related industries , would als ! locate in the study area under this scenario. : Food processing for cash crops and major poultry operations !are two potential developments. Employment in recreation and service industries (for example; fishing, bo ling, restaurants and hotels) is also projected to increase due to greater recreational opportunities related to ew water storage facilities. It is estimated that a total of 30 new jobs would be created in the agricultur , service and recreation sectors of the local economy and that 40 jobs would result from new agriculture ;felated industries in the study area.

In addition, ew food processing and poultry operations are envisioned to employ approximately 100 persons. M & ,ands for this scenario would increase as displayed under "High Growth" in Table IV-4. The water : emands resulting from any of these development scenarios amount to about one to two percent of the total irrigaion demands shown in Table IV -3. Thus, M & I water demand would be only a minor portion of deliveries om a San Miguel water project and could be easily accommodated in project deliveries. An additi power pIa included i River und expanded ! al consideration is the potential for the locatiqn of major water-using industries (such as coal-fired s, mining and mineral processing) in the study <\rea.
