Develapment of hydroelectric power cannot be' justified from <br />ei ther an engineering or ecC'nomic standpoint.. <br /> <br />3. A 1,000,000 acre-foot reservoir cannot be justified from an <br />engineering standpoint. <br /> <br />4. Do not agree with flN'd control benefit evaluation. <br /> <br />B. Recommendations <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1. Re-study be made to determine reservoir capacity that will give <br />gr~test benefit for least cost. <br /> <br />2. Re-study to determine if surface storage can be coordinated <br />with ground water storage. <br /> <br />3. Flood control benefits be reevaluated. <br /> <br />State of New Mexico <br /> <br />A. Comments <br /> <br />1. Maintained project would change flows at Lobatos to detrimSnt <br />of New Mexico. <br /> <br />2. Questioned other prOVisions of projeot plan in connection <br />with proposed use of wat.er. <br /> <br />3. Flood control features poorly conceived and not coordinsted <br />with Middle Rio Grande Project. <br /> <br />4. Generation of hydroelectric power is not feasible. <br /> <br />5. Caploity of reservoir could be greatly reduced and still <br />provide storage for irrigation and limited f1aod cantral. <br /> <br />6.
