<br />Oee!!'2' <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />in 1956 of the 1928-1956 period. <br /> <br />, <br />~ <br />This shortage w6tild have amounted to <br /> <br />150,000 acre feet or 23 per cent of normal reservoir demands. <br />The above analysis relates only to a condition ..of no new <br />use in Colorado over and above the two authorized uses mentioned <br /> <br />above. With any additional use in Colorado the resultant shortage <br />would be increased. <br /> <br />It is not practicable at this time to determine the probable <br />extent of possible . new uses in Colorado without a field study. For <br />the purpose of evaluating.thee'ff'eCts '(j'f such new uses, annual new <br />depletions, ranging between 20.,000 acre feet and 100,000 acre feet <br />were imposed on the water supply. .The resulting shortages in re- <br />servoir supply are indicated in the following table. In the case of <br />the higher figure for new use in Colorado, it is possible that some <br />natural shortage in water supply might be experienced in years of low <br /> <br />runoff . <br /> <br />CRITERIA NO.1 <br /> <br />ShortaGJes in New Maxico Normal Demand on Nava;o Re.servoir <br />New Uses in Colorado <br /> <br />Year <br /> <br />.20.000 Ac .Ft. <br />Shart.aqe Percent <br />Ac .Ft. <br /> <br />50.000 Ac.Ft. <br />Shortage Per.cent <br />Ao.Ft. <br /> <br />100.000 AcoFt. .. . <br />Shoitatre Pe'r,cent <br />Ac.Ft. <br /> <br />1954 <br />1955 <br />1956 <br /> <br />290,000 <br /> <br />45 <br /> <br />174,000 <br />326,000 <br /> <br />27 <br />51 <br /> <br />144;000 <br />397~000 <br />376,000 <br /> <br />22 <br />62 <br />58 <br /> <br />Under the condition of existing uses only in Colorado, and <br />with New Mexico demands as shown in Criteria No.1, one shortage in <br />Navajo Reservoir supply would occur in a year such as 1956, amounting <br />to 102,000 acre feet or 16 percent. <br /> <br />- 8 - <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />. <br />,-<. .
