<br />l <br /> <br />.' <br /> <br />001796 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />third California project is the All-American Canal whi~h serves <br />Imperial and Coachella valleys. The All-American Canal also <br />began service in 1941, replacing a diversion channel through <br />Mexico whicll had begun operating in 1901. These projects are <br />using, at this moment, nearly 5,000,000 acre-feet per annum. The <br />full 5,J~OO,OOO acre-feet will be in use within ten to fifteen <br />years. Most of the now unused California water is to be used <br />by the Metropolitan Water District which supplies the thousands <br />of new families who arrive in southern California each month. <br />Requirements of existing main stream projects in Nevada <br />and Arizona, according to findings of fact proposed by California <br />and based on the evidence presented by Arizona, Nevada, and the <br />United states, account for about 1,300,000 acre-feet per annum. <br />Much less than this quantity has actually been put to use, but <br />in each instance water rights have been initiated. Except for <br />some of the Nevada projects, each of the projects is now using <br />at least part of the water appropriated, although a number have <br />not yet reached full development. The Arizona projects consist <br />principally of the federal reclamation projects around Yuma, <br />Arizona; the Colorado River Indian Reservation at Parker, Arizona, <br />which has a 1903 appropriation by the United states; and Nevada <br />projects in Clark County whose glittering county seat is the <br />city of Las Vegas. Requirements of existing projects from the <br />main stream in Arizona, California, and Nevada--with California's <br />requirements reduced in consequence of the Limitation Act--total <br />6,700,000 acre-feet per annum. <br /> <br />8. <br />
