<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />APPENDIX I <br /> <br />This appendix summarizes the extension of project depletions published by <br />the Department of the Interior in the Quality of Water - Colorado River <br />Basin Progress Report No. 13 - January 1987. The projections for the years <br />1985 through 2010 which appear in the report, represent the best estimate <br />by the Bureau of Reclamation of how water use will be developed over the <br />next 25 years. The projections were made after consultation with <br />individual States within the Colorado River Basin; however, the states do <br />not necessarily concur, but do not object, with the projections adopted by <br />the Bureau for planning purposes. The projections after 2010 were <br />developed in order to extend depletion levels to their assumed maximums at <br />year 2040. These projections are based on an annual Upper Basin <br />consumptive use maximum of 5.8 MAF. Upon the approval of this hydrologic <br />determination, the depletion level projections will be revised accordingly. <br /> <br />22 <br />
