Colorado River serves several major centers which lie outside the basin, <br /> <br />including Denver, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, and San Diego. The <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />major service area in southern Califo,rnia is within OBERS Regions 1508 <br /> <br />and 1510. At present, the Colorado River, in one way or another serves <br /> <br />upward of l5 million people. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Water Depletion for Municipal <br />and Industrial Use <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Water Depletions. Estimated values of municipal and industrial <br /> <br />uses are shown for 1975 in Tables III-5 and llI-6. These values were <br /> <br />calculated by linear interpolation from 1965 Framework Study data using <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />OBERS Series E projections. Because these are calculated values they <br /> <br />should not be considered as absolute. Rather, the values represent an <br /> <br />order of magnitude and a relative means of comparison. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />In 1975, agriculture accounted for the major water depletion in the <br /> <br />Upper Basin (Table lll- 5) with Basin 1405 being the major agricultural <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />water user. Comparison with 1965 data indicates the amount of agricultural <br /> <br />water depletion in Basin l401 has not increased as much as in Basins <br /> <br />l407, l406, and 1404. In 1975, the major agricultural depletion occurred <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />in Basins 1402, 1404, 1405, l406, and 1407, with comparatively small <br /> <br />water depletions in Basins 1403 and l404. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />45 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />J <br />
