Since streamflows are adequate at all <br />times to assimilate any present or projected organic waste, and since <br />flow regulation for mineral quality control would be ineffective within <br />the basin, inclusion of storage for water quality control purposes would <br />have minimal value. <br /> <br />This is not to preclude the possibility that a need for regulation <br />of streamflow for the purpose of water quality control will become <br />apparent when comprehensive studies of the Colorado River Basin have <br />been completed. These studies should establish the magnitude of the <br />cumulative effect on water quality of the many projects being planned <br />and constructed by the Bureau of Reclamation and others, or the possible <br />cumulative improvement in the quality of the Colorado River which might <br />be derived from the integrated operation of storage provided for flow <br />regulation in all of these reservoirs. Until such studies have provided <br />more definitive data, however, recommendations cannot be made. <br />
