The terminology of "low, moderate, and high" is not to be taken <br />as implying that the projection. designated as "moderate" is the "lost <br />probable one. Rather, the three terms merely reflect the relative rate of <br />increased use for one projection as compared to the others. <br /> <br />1/ Id. <br />~ Consumptive use as defined by the U.S. Supreme Court in (276 U.S. 340) <br />means diversions from the stream less such return flow thereto as is avail- <br />able for consumptive use in the United States or in satisfaction of the <br />Mexican ,Treaty obligation. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />10 <br />
