<br />'~ gat ion project will not exceed l75,000 acre~feet annually; to <br />W <br />o prevent surface flovlS from entering the ivellton-Hohavlk Drainage <br />o <br /> <br />system; to provide an interim Gource of replacement vlater; to <br /> <br />identify permanent sources of repiacementwaterl to secure pro- <br /> <br />ject right-of-way across an Indian re~ervation; and to preserve <br />groundwater aquifers along the international boundary from the <br /> <br />adverse effects of Hexican pumping. <br /> <br />The desalting complex authorized by Title I will be completed <br /> <br />with facilities for accumulating and managing the feedwaterl for <br /> <br />blending and delivery of the product water ,to .the river; for <br /> <br />discharge of the reject brine to the Santa ~lara Slough an arm <br /> <br />of the Gulf of Californial and corollary facilities for construc- <br /> <br />tion and operation of the plant. <br /> <br />The initial source of replacement ,vater I?rovided by the <br />legislation v/ill be from the Colorado River' vlater,salvaged and ,. <br /> <br />saved through lining and reconstruction o~ 49 miles of t~e Coa- <br />chella Canal in California. 'l'hrough a program of reconstruction <br />and lining it will be possible to salvage more than 100,000 acre- <br /> <br />,feet of water now being lost to seepage. <br />, The purpose of Ti tIe II is to authorize' an initial program <br />If salinity control measures in the Colorado River Basin in the <br />I <br />~nterst of improving the quality of water delivered to users <br />lin the United States. This Title establishes a format for con- <br />I <br />!sideration, authorization, and future de~elopment of additional <br />bnits of the salinity control program.
