With this adjustment, the <br />consumptive use, for manufacturing was changed to 41 percent for 1975, <br />39 percent for 1985, and 39 percent for 2000. <br /> <br />The Missouri Basin Framework Study and the Framework Update were compiled <br />on a hydrologic boundary basis and this information was intended to fulfill <br />the requirements of the National Water Asses~me!lt.Therefore, data for <br />KanSaS were compiled on a hydrologic boundary basis and submitted to the <br />Hissouri River Basin Commission ,for ASAs 1009, 1010" and 1011, and to the <br />Arkansas-1Vhite-Red Basins Regional Study Director for ASAs 1103 and 1104. <br />Compilation of data on the hydrologic boundary basis was a departure <br />from the ASA boundary basis suggested by the Water Resources Council, <br />b,ut the effect of the change was judged, to. pe n,ot significant as fa, as <br />the overall study is concerned. The hydrologic boundaries ,should <br />apptoximate the ASA boundaries closely enough. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The Population Research Laboratory projections were not used because they <br />do not appear to be reasonable for several counties in the state; they <br />are based on cohort survival with an assumed continuation of present <br />migration trends and ,a disregard for economic considerations; and they <br />have no standing as official population projections. For purposes ,of <br />chis study, ,the official state population projections developed by <br />Dr. M. Jarvin Emerson were used after modification for some counties <br />to incorporate changes suggested by Dr. Emerson i~ a more recent study. <br /> <br />Population projecti()ns were not ,rounded ,t.o 10"s or 100is 'f()r the assessment <br />study because they were based on the official population projections <br />published by Dr, Emerson. Those projections were not rounded. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />The source of irrigated acreage figures used in the National Water <br />Assessment Study is the Kansas Water Resources Boarc\. ,The Irrigated <br />acreage for each county is based on the annua1repot'ts 'of the county <br />assessors, 'annual reports of the courltr'agents,alld't:l1.eU:S. Census of <br />Agriculture. ,Projections were derived from a lin~ar programming model <br />developed by the Economic Research Service (ERS). These figures were <br />then used in completing the Kansas Long-Range Water Requirements study, <br />Kansas Water Resources Board, 1972. Since this approach seems reasonable, <br />no attempt was ,made, t,o develop another, set of projections, <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />148 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />
