These costs are either <br /> <br /> <br />minor and/or difficult to estimate with available information. <br /> <br /> <br />Therefore, for these preliminary analyses, they have not been <br /> <br /> <br />considered at this time. <br /> <br />The cost of power line extensions to serve pumping facilities could <br /> <br /> <br />be quite high, especially if three phase power is required. Three <br /> <br /> <br />phase power will be required for pump stations over 25 horsepower. <br /> <br />0.4 PRELIMINARY PRACTICABLE IRRIGABLE ACREAGE <br /> <br /> <br />D.4.l Existing Irrigated Lands <br /> <br /> <br />Lands currently irrigated are assumed to be PIA requiring no further <br /> <br /> <br />evaluation. Table 0.2 summarizes the currently irrigated acreage <br /> <br /> <br />in the watershed. The acreage is also identified on maps included as <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 0.1, 0.2, D.3, and 0.4. <br /> <br />D.4.2 Water Supply <br />An examination of the hydrology data for the La Plata River shows that <br />there is sufficient virgin flow during the summer irrigation periods <br />to serve the potential arable lands directly from the river. <br />Therefore, it was not necessary to perform any operational studies <br /> <br />involving storage reservoirs. <br /> <br />8 <br />
