A maKimum of 2.2 mi II ion acre-feet (2700 K 106m3) of Co lor ado <br />River water is all that could be diverted with a canal capacity of 3,000 <br />ft3/s (B5 m3/s). <br /> <br />Contracts - Boulder Canyon Project. Separate contracts have been <br />signed with the city of Kingman, Arizona, the Lake Havasu Irrigation and <br />Drainage District, and the Mohave Valley Irrigation and Drainage District <br />for diversion, respectively" of IB ,500 acre-feet, 14,500 acre-feet and <br />51,000 acre-feet (23 K 100m3, IB K 106m3, and 63 K 106m3) annually. <br />As a result of terms in the Mohave Valley Irrigation and Drainage Districts <br />contract, they will lose 10,000 acre feet (12 K 106m3) of their diversion. <br />The 10,000 acre-feet (12 K 106m3) will be used for municipal and industrial <br />and irrigation purposes on lands not part of Mohave Valley Irrigation and <br />Drainage District. <br /> <br />At the present time the city of Kingman does not divert Colorado <br />River water nor are there plans to divert Colorado River water in the <br />near future. It has been anticipated that there will be no use of their <br />contract water until 1990. From 1990 to 2000 it was assumed they will <br />develop 9,250 acre-feet (11 000 K 106m3) of their contract water. <br /> <br />The Lake Havasu Irrigation and Drainage District used 7,77! acre- <br />feet (10 K 106m3) of water in 1976 according to the Arizona v. California <br />Decree accounting of the waters of the Colorado River. It is anticipated <br />that 14,500 acre-feet (18 x 106m3) of water use will be developed by the <br />District by 1990, which will mean an additional detletion of 1,600 acre- <br />feet (2 x 106m3) by 19BO and 5,100 acre-feet (6 x 10 m3) by 1990. <br /> <br />In 1976 the decree account ing shows that Mohave Valley Irrigat ion <br />and Drainage District used 14,59B acre-feet (IB K 106m3). The 1976 <br />decree account ing, however, does not show the total use of water wi thin <br />the District. The 1978 decree accounting of approKimately 19,100 acre- <br />feet (24 x 106m3) for the District reflects the total use of water while <br />there was little change in irrigated acreage from 1976. It is anticipated <br />that half of the remaining 21,900 acre-feet (27 x 106m3) or 10,950 acre- <br />feet (14 x 106m3) of use will be developed by 1990 and an additional <br />10,950 acre-feet (14 x 106m3) of use will be developed by the year 2020. <br />Of the 10,000 acre-feet (12 x 106m3) of water formerly under contract to <br />the District, it is anticipated there will be a use of 2,200 (3 x 106m3) by <br />19BO with full development of the use of the 10,000 acre-feet (12 x 106m3) <br />by 2020. <br /> <br />Colorado River Indian Reservation. The Colorado River Indian Reserva- <br />tion is located along the Colorado River just below Parker Dam, Arizona, <br />with most of the land in Arizona and the remainder in California. The <br />Supreme Court Decree allocated 717,14B acre-feet (BB5 x 106m3) of diversons <br />to the Colorado River Indisn Reservation for irrigation of 107,5BB acres <br />(43 500 ha) of land. There are 99,375 acres (40 217 ha) of land in <br />Arizona, of which 72,377 acres (29 291 ha) have been developed and 8,213 <br /> <br />59 <br />
