<br /> <br />More Water for Arid Southwest <br /> <br />These units of the Colorado River Basin <br />Salinity Control Project will make more <br />water available for use in the arid but <br />agriculturally productive Southwest. The <br />desalting complex will be capable of <br />salvaging about 123,000 acre.feet of <br />irrigation drainage each year. Lining the <br />first 49 miles of the Coachella Canal will <br />prevent the annual seepage loss of nearly <br />132,000 acre-feet, while the protective and <br />regulatory pumping program is expected to <br />recover about 125,000 acre.feet of usable <br />ground water each year. <br /> <br />NOflTHERlY <br />,NIERN.6,nON.6,l <br />BOUNO.6,RY <br /> <br /> <br />ARIZONA <br /> <br />Completion of these phases of the <br />Colorado River Basin Salinity Control <br />Project will enable the United States to <br />meet the terms of the 1944 Treaty as to <br />quantity and Minute No. 242 as to quality <br />while at the same time salvaging most of <br />the Wellton.Mohawk drainage water. <br /> <br />Wellton.Mohawk lrr.qa[,on <br />&- Dra,nageD'slnc\ <br /> <br /> <br />,.... ,:',,-,," <br /> <br />SOur.., <br />('It. <br />'''''f <br />""""'0", <br />"-LSO"", <br />0",'1. <br /> <br />~,...~ <br />~ss <br />O~ <br />4/-\< <br /> <br />MEXICO <br /> <br />SanJQaquin vane, farmland laplagued wlthaccumu.aled salt. <br /> <br />
