<br />t,~ <br />~ <br />~ <br />00 <br /> <br />. Increased salinity concentration in tue Lower Basin would <br /> <br />adversely effect agricultural production by $4.3 million annually. <br /> <br />F. Water Supply Costs <br /> <br />. The investment costs in water supply development facilities for <br /> <br />3 million barrels per day of synfuels production is estimated between <br /> <br />$0.9 and $1.6 billion or approximately 2 percent of the capital investment <br /> <br />in synfuels facilities. Host would occur in the White River area in <br /> <br />Colorado and Utah. <br /> <br />G. Need for Continuin~ Improvement in Water Management <br /> <br />. The Colorado River system is a complex water management system <br /> <br />involving interests inside and outside the Upper Basin, including munici- <br /> <br />~ I <br />I <br /> <br />pal water supply in Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver, and Phoenix. The com- <br /> <br />plexity is illustrated by: interstste compacts; an International Treaty; <br /> <br />Supreme Court decrees; growing regional economic activity; energy, agricul- <br /> <br />tural and environmental resources of national and worldwide importance; <br /> <br />immense Federal investments in water development; and continuing evolution <br /> <br />of new water management problems, challenges, and resolutions. <br /> <br />. A synthetic fuels industry within the Region that would annually <br /> <br />deplete several hundred thousand acre-feet of water would add to the <br /> <br />complexity of Basin management. <br /> <br />1-6 <br />
