<br />W The dissolved-sol ids concentration in tne water of the Upper <br />o <br />CD Colorado ~Ivar Basin may be altered by a wide range of socioeconomic <br />~, <br /> <br />activities bet..een the years 1975 and 2000. Onl( those activities <br /> <br />expected to have a large impact upon dissolved-solids concentration <br /> <br />were considered. <br /> <br />These activities incluJe the diversion and <br /> <br />consumptive use of water associated with population ~rowth, <br /> <br />irrigation, and development of energy resources. <br /> <br />Additional dis- <br /> <br />solved-solids loadings will occur as a result of leaching of <br /> <br />irri9ated croplands. <br /> <br />The dissolved-solidS loadings from irrig,Hea <br /> <br />croplands were estimated from data develo~ed ay iarns.
