(2) <br /> <br />East Rivet. (3) Fruitland Mesa, (4) Ohio Creek. and (5) Tomichi <br /> <br />Creek. <br /> <br />The tQtal depletion by these five projects was estimated to <br />be about 60.000 acre-feet annually of which 40.000 acre-feet <br />would be qepleted above Blue Mesa Dam, An additional 10,000 <br />Mesa... <br />acre-feet :would be depleted between Morrow Point and Blue"Dams'. <br /> <br />and another 10.000 acre-feet would be depleted between Crystal <br />and Morro~ Dams.

Although it was <br /> <br />concluded that there were limited potentialities for Federal <br /> <br />water reso~rce development under existing evaluation criteria <br /> <br />and projected economic conditions.
