The following table shows such shortages with no new use <br />in Colorado and indicates the range of shortages with assumed 20,QOO, <br />50,000 and 100,000 acre feet of new depletion in Colorado. <br /> <br />,; <br />1 <br />,} <br /> <br />CRITERIA NO.2 <br /> <br />Shortaqes in New Mexico Normal Demand on Navaio Reservoir <br /> <br />Authorized <br />Projects <br />in Co]"orado <br />ShQrt~Percent <br />1000 ... ... _ <br /> <br />New Colorado Uses <br /> <br />Year, <br />~". <br /> <br />20.000 <br />Shortaqe <br />1000 AF <br /> <br />Ac.Ft. <br />Percent <br /> <br />50..000 Ac .Ft. <br />Snon .. e Percent <br />1000'Ar <br /> <br />100.000 1\.c .Ft. <br />Sho~taqe Percent <br />1000'AF <br /> <br />1947 8 .1 158 20 354 45 <br />1950 121 15 <br />1951 308 40 453 57 573 72 652 82 <br />1953 57 7 157 20 <br />1954 366 46 382 48 416 52 466 59 <br />1955 445 56 465 59 495 62 545 69 <br />1956 425 54 445 56 475 60 5.25 66 <br /> Considering only exi sting uses in Colorado, the demand. <br /> schedule of Criteria No. 2 would result in shortages in reservoir sup~ <br /> ply in the years 1955 and 1956. These would each be in the cunount of <br /> 375,000 acr.e feet or 47 percent. <br /> It should be recognized that the water demand figures for <br /> <br />New Mexico used in the above analyses were taken either from esti~ <br />mates in reports of Federal agencies or from estimates in letters <br />of New Mexico State Engineer Reynolds. It is probable that the actual <br />demands after development may exceed these estimate.s. In the case <br />of the Navajo Project in particular, the diversion demand figure of <br />508,000 acre feet was estimated as the irrigation diversion requirement! <br /> <br />-10- <br /> <br />. _ , ,h <br /> <br />,< -i!-- ',~ -t <br />._ ,.-,4.~""._ ._""_' "" <br /> <br />.,. ..... ,.'ib~ <br /> <br />~;,.:.: " - - _~.;,., ~;i1::J.~~.;,.a&L7_ <br />
