Sprinkler irrigation, <br />although more costly, would increase efficiency in the utilization of <br />water resources. <br /> <br />Advance planning studies will update municipal and industrial water <br />needs of communities and surrounding areas in the basin including <br />Aztec and Farmington, New Mexico and Durango, Colorado. Provisions <br />for development of resources of the Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Ute <br />Indian Tribes will be analyzed in detail. <br /> <br />The environmental effects of each of the alternative plans will receive <br />consideration and will be an important factor in selection of the most <br />desireable plan for development. <br /> <br />Suggestions by interested persons and groups for meeting the water needs <br />of the area are being considered in the advance planning studies and <br />in selecting the most desireable plan for development. <br /> <br />I';. <br /> <br />, ~., <br /> <br />l,_' <br /> <br />6 <br />
