<br />Note (1): All data involve estination in, varying degree.
<br />The acre-feet of past use are in the nature of guess, but
<br />the water used is not included inrun-offidata used in
<br />estimates for the future. Figures for ad~itional acres
<br />assume construction of storage and feasib~e canals~
<br />
<br />Note (2): Figures. of water requirement are intended to be
<br />"consumptive use" except for California and Mexico, for
<br />which figures of total diversion. are used because return
<br />flow is not available for reuse,
