<br />b. Metropolitan Water District <br /> <br />In 1984 the Metropolitan Water District used approximately <br />1,234,000 acre-feet. Future use may be reduced as indicated in the tables so <br />that California does not exceed 4.4 million acre-feet per year after the <br />Central Arizona Project comes on line. <br /> <br />~ <br />-J <br />CD <br />r-\ <br /> <br />c. Fort Mohave Indian Reservation <br /> <br />There are 2,119 acres of Fort Mohave Indian Reservation land <br />located in California. Using an estimated consumptive use of 4 acre-feet per <br />acre, this land is entitled to approximately 9,000 acre-feet of consumptive <br />use per year. In 1984, its consumptive use was about 20,800 acre-feet but <br />will be reduced when the Central Arizona Project becomes fully operational. <br /> <br />d. Chemehuevi Indian Reservation <br /> <br />The Chemehuevi Indian Reservation, located above Parker Dam, is <br />allocated water by the Supreme Court Decree to irrigate 1,900 acres of land in <br />California, with a maximum annual diversion from the mainstream of the <br />Colorado River of 11,340 acre-feet. The consumptive use required for <br />irrigation of these lands is estimated to be 4 acre-feet per acre, which would <br />result in a main stream depletion of about 7,600 acre-feet annually. The <br />lands that are irrigable are above the river and not feasible for farming at <br />this time. It is anticipated that the reservation will develop 7,600 <br />acre-feet of consumptive use for municipal and industrial and/or irrigation <br />purposes by the year 2000. <br /> <br />e. Colorado River Indian Reservation <br /> <br />The Colorado River Indian Reservation is located along the <br />Colorado River, just below Parker Dam, with most of the land in Arizona and <br />the remainder in California. The Supreme Court Decree allocated 717,148 <br />acre-feet of diversion to the Colorado River Indian Reservation for irrigation <br />of 107,588 acres of land. <br /> <br />There are 8,213 acres of land in California that are partially <br />developed. They will eventually consume about 33,000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />f. Palo Verde Irrigation District <br /> <br />The Palo Verde Irrigation District has the number one priority <br />in California for Colorado River water under the Seven Party Agreement to <br />irrigate a total of 104,500 acres with an estimated consumptive use of 423,000 <br />acre-feet per year. <br /> <br />g. Yuma Project, Reservation Division <br /> <br />California lands within the Yuma Project fall under the second <br />priority according to the Seven Party Agreement. In the Indian Unit, Arizona <br />vs. California reserves water for 7,743 acres of land which would require an <br />approximate consumptive use of 31,000 acre-feet. The Bard Unit has about <br />7,000 acres of land that have an approximate consumptive use of 24,000 <br />acre-feet. <br /> <br />VI-25 <br />
