<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />'DRAFT <br /> <br />October 5, 1982 <br /> <br />Policy on the Consideration of Water <br />Rights and Interstate Compact Matters <br /> <br />Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Forum <br /> <br />(date) <br /> <br />Salinity control projects could result in depletions of <br /> <br />surface water through various means, including, for example, deep <br />well injection, industrial use (e.g., cooling tower evaporation, <br /> <br />process water, and pipeline transportation medium), and disposal <br /> <br />of saline waters, otherwise unused, in evaporation ponds. <br />Likewise, other salinity control projects could result in <br /> <br />reductions in present levels of depletions (i.e., water salvage) <br /> <br />and in changes in historical diversion requirements and water <br /> <br />delivery patterns. <br /> <br />In light of these circumstances, it is recognized that the <br />implementation and operation of salinity control projects <br /> <br />involves water rights and interstate com~act matters which will <br /> <br />need to be addressed as the Colorado River Basin salinity control <br /> <br />program goes forward. However, the factual circumstances from <br />which such issues arise will vary from project to project. <br />Futhermore, one cannot be sure that a potential issue will in <br />fact be encountered in the future. <br /> <br />(over) <br /> <br />plcy:Saln/ <br />525 <br /> <br />cry 625 <br />
