This <br />preliminary cost estimate <br />is based on costs of <br />recent work; it's likely <br />some of the most feasible <br />applications are being or <br />have been done: future <br />applications may be <br />somewhat more costly. <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />a Water savings estimate assumes ditches <br />carrying FIC 8< Slk Projsct water would be <br />improved. <br />.
