The <br />forecast currently indicates that total water use in the Lower Colorado River Basin is within <br />the 7.5-million-acre-foot limit established in the Annual Operating Plan for 1991. <br /> <br />Projected 1991 water use is based on actual use during January through September, users' <br />historical use patterns, and scheduled use provided by users. The projected use for each user <br />is being provided so that water users can monitor their use of water and avoid any overuse <br />during the year. Because seasonal agricultural requirements can vary significantly from year <br />to year, it is emphasized that all users should promote water conservation and plan to keep <br />water use within their annual entitlement. <br /> <br />We expect the actual use data contained in the projections will provide the basis for the final <br />decree report for calendar year 1991. As a result, we are asking that each user review the <br />actual use data and notify us if any of the records appear to have errors. Your review of the <br />accuracy of the records during the year will help us complete the final decree report in a <br />timely fashion. The final 1991 records will be used to determine, among other things, the <br />extent to which any individual user of Colorado River water may have exceeded their <br />entitlement. In such cases, the final records will serve as the basis for requiring reductions <br />in water.use in future years in order to offset any such inadvertent overruns that may have. <br />. . <br />occurred. <br /> <br />For any further information concerning our water use accounting and projection process <br />please contact Mr. Alden Briggs at 702-293-8677. <br /> <br /> <br />Enclosure <br />
