An additional 500,000 to 1,000,000 acre-feet will be needed <br />to meet growing M & I demands in Colorado by the year <br />2100, <br /> <br />. Agricultural demands are not expected to increase through <br />the year 2100. <br /> <br />. Demands for environmental programs (e.g" endangered fish <br />recovery program) may impact when and where future water <br />development can occur. <br /> <br />. Projected demand will exceed currently developed supplies <br />in some regions in t...~e next 20 years. Given the ~~~e re.qllire.d <br />to implement water development projects, efforts are war- <br />ranted to expedite currently proposed projects and encourage <br />planning of new projects. <br /> <br />. Increasing demands in downstream states will put additional <br />stress on adherence to interstate compacts and possibly upon <br />Colorado's water resources in all river basins, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />5-11 <br /> <br />._ COLoraDo <br />, 'II.
