<br />migrate into aquifers that are now fresh. While we have heard of <br /> <br />some predictions that the ground water resources of the White River <br /> <br />Basin will be of major importance in sustaining the industry, the <br /> <br />staff of the state water board is much less optimistic about the <br /> <br />final value of ground water to the oil shale industry. <br /> <br />To summarize the White River situation, water supply poses <br /> <br />a considerable problem to the development of a full-fledged oil shale <br /> <br />industry. The problem is not without solution. The solution will <br /> <br />depend entirely upon the demonstrated needs for municipal and indus- <br /> <br />trial supplies in the White River Basin. If these needs materialize, <br /> <br />an adequate water supply can and will be made available. <br /> <br />Earlier during these remarks, I made a statement that <br /> <br />further contamination of the Colorado River from the percolation of <br /> <br />dissolved solids will not be a permissible practice. Some elaboration <br /> <br />of this statement is in order, since it will have a major impact upon <br /> <br />the oil shale industry. The salinity problem, in part. grows out of <br /> <br />a long-standing dispute between the United States and the Republic of <br /> <br />Mexico concerning the quality of waters delivered to Mexico near the <br /> <br />International Boundary pursuant to the Mexican Water Treaty of 1944. <br /> <br />The states of the Lower Basin, and particularly the state of California, <br /> <br />also contend that the increasing salinity of the Colorado River is <br /> <br />having a serious adverse economic effect upon those areas of their <br /> <br />states which utilize the waters of the Colorado River. At this time, <br /> <br />-14- <br /> <br />0206 <br />
