Pasture and vegetable acreage were taken fram the Census of Aqriculture, which <br />is published every five years. AS of October 1980 the latest Census published is <br />for the year 1974. All other acreage data are from the Colorado State Agricultural <br />Statistics for the year 1979. <br /> <br />b. Water Depletion equals the sum of consumptive use and incidental loss under <br />current technology and management. <br /> <br />c. Equivalent full irrigation based on no additional available water for the <br />likely estimate and 70,000 acre-feet for the high estimate. (See Tables 1 and 2.) <br /> <br />d. The data from Jackson County was included in the Northwest regional data base <br />because climatic considerations make its water consumption characteristics more <br />similar to Northwest counties than to counties in the Platte Region. <br />
