<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />remarkable foresight, it now appears that the shortage sharing <br /> <br /> <br />provision that they sponsored will not need to be applied. <br /> <br /> <br />In connection with the existing and proposed depletions <br /> <br /> <br />listed on Table 2, attention is invited to the fact that if <br /> <br /> <br />all these proposals are authorized and fully developed, the <br /> <br /> <br />depletion by uses on the Navajo Indian Reservation will total <br /> <br />, <br />-' <br />about 421,000 acre-feet annually or roughly 58% of ~ew Mexico's <br /> <br /> <br />entitlement from the Upper Colorado River system. This total <br /> <br /> <br />in~ludes 39,000 acre-feet under a permit issued to Utah Inter- <br /> <br /> <br />national, Inc. by the State Engineer for the operation of the <br /> <br /> <br />Four Corners coal-fired power plant, 36,000 acre-feet for small <br /> <br /> <br />Navajo irrigation units, now existing or under development, and <br /> <br /> <br />55,000 acre-feet of Colorado River Storage Project reservoir <br /> <br /> <br />evaporation attributable to water supply for uses on the Reser- <br /> <br /> <br />vation. All of these uses are of~eat importance to the welfare <br /> <br /> <br />and economy of the Navajo people. These existing and proposed <br /> <br />developments have been supported by the state to meet the needs <br /> <br />and opportunities of the Navajo Tribe; state support was not <br /> <br />dependent upon or forced by any judicial determination of the <br /> <br />water rights of the Tribe. <br /> <br />In a letter to Senator Domenici dated February 12, 1975, <br /> <br />;{r. Hubert Velarde, President of the Jicarilla Apache Tribe, <br /> <br />questioned whether the full diversion authorized by the Congress <br /> <br />in the San Juan-Chama Project Act can be maintained in years of <br /> <br />normal flow when Indian water needs are fully provided for. <br /> <br />-22- <br />
