GEOTHERMAL - Considers extracting geothermal fluid from <br /> <br />the ground and desalting it, using the heat and pressure of the fluid <br /> <br />itself as the power source, at a unit cost of from $279 to $340 per <br /> <br />acre-foot. <br /> <br />7. GROUND WATER - Considers extracting ground water in <br /> <br />the vicinity of the U.S. Army Proving Ground near Yuma, Arizona, <br />at a unit cost of $27 per acre-foot. <br /> <br />8. GROUND-WATER PUMPING ALONG THE ALL-AMERICAN <br /> <br />CANAL - Considers intercepting southward flowing seepage from the <br /> <br />All-American Canal before it reaches Mexico, at a unit cost of $26 per <br /> <br />acre-foot. <br /> <br />9. <br /> <br />HIGH RECOVERY - Considers increasing the Yuma Desalting <br /> <br />Plant recovery rate from 70 percent to 90 percent, at a unit cost of <br /> <br />$440 per acre-foot. <br />10. POWERPLANT COOLANT - Considers converting existing <br /> <br />powerplant evaporative cooling systems to once-through or dry cooling <br />systems, at a unit cost of from $512 to $800 per acre-foot. <br /> <br />11. VEGETATIVE MANAGEMENT <br /> <br />Considers water salvage <br /> <br />through control of water-consuming phreatophytes, at a unit cost of <br /> <br />$11 per acre-foot. <br /> <br />These 11 possible ideas for reject stream replacement, along with <br />some of the other initial ideas, were developed into preliminary plans <br />and presented to the public during four separate public involvement <br /> <br />meetings held in April 1977.
