<br />001J36 <br /> <br />Draft - 9/81 <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Idle. This wiLl produce a grave crisis for irrigated agriculture <br />In the region. <br />The Division of Planning's low projection predicts that by <br />the year 2000 only 5,880 new people will reside in the Northern <br />High Plains, an average annual Increase of only 1.02 percent. <br />The high projection for the same ye.v involves 13,000 new resi- <br />dents which translates to a pe~centage change over the 21 years <br />In question of less than 50 percent.
