<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />BENEFIT-COST ANALYSIS <br /> <br />fully measure the significance of the projeot. Operation of the storab" <br />uni ts and participating p1'Oject.s will be interrelated in stream regula- <br />tion, power production, and power tranBlllission. Consequently, the bene- <br />fits of storage are recognized in the analysis of the participating <br />projects, and a corresponding assignment of costs for stream depletion <br />is made as dieoussed above. Because of the interdependence of storage <br />works and local facilities for use of water, a benefit-cost ratio for <br />an individual. storage unit or participating project is necessarily <br />arbitrary and is less significant than a ratio of total benefits to <br />total costs for the authorized features. <br /> <br />In the analysis for the lOO-year period and with conaideration <br />given to all the anticipated benefits, the Colorado River Storage proj- <br />ect and participating projects combined have benefits in excess of costs <br />and each individual. storage unit and participating project has benefits <br />equal to or greater than the coats. The overall project benefit-cost <br />ratio is 1.3 to 1. <br /> <br />~2 <br />
