<br />, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2153 <br /> <br />(Re imbursement, Initial Developmont) <br /> <br />Irrigation <br /> <br />It is ostimated in Appendix E, "Irrigation" that tho irriga.tors would <br />bo ablo to pay ~ avorngo foe for supplemontal uator ranging botwoen ~2.90 <br />as dotorminod by tho incomo to land mothod and ~6.20 per acre-foot by too <br />fn~ budgot mothod. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />, For rcpaymont computation the ",mount of vrater availablo for supplo- <br />montal irrigation use is comprised of 36,300 acro-foot from tho Fryingpan <br />Di.vorsion" 1,300 acro-foot from tho 5,000 nore-foot of Arknnsas Rivor <br />'flood i'101'/0 nrd 24,700 acre-fcot of additional water from tho THin Lnkos <br />(Indoponde,1co ?nss) Diversion moking a total of 62,300 acre-foot. Thoso <br />qUuntitios for ropayrnont computation diffor from thoso shown in Appondix <br />B, "Wator Supply" in tInt thoy 0.1'0 virgin flows corrocted for oporational <br />storagc and lossos from o~.poration and tra.nsportation. Tho ro~ining <br />3,700 c.cro-foot of Arka.nsns River flow was usod for municipal wator <br />s\:pply purposos horoinaftor discus sod. Also in Appondix B, tro Arkansas <br />Rivor wintor fl~vs were considorod as boing convortiblo from wintor to <br />tho noroJffieiont s\ll1toor irrigc.tion use (undor possiblo mutual a(;rooment <br />among tho appropriator s concornod) in computing tho nmount of supplemon- <br />tal ~ator noodod. In so doing tho total ovaporation of about 11,000 <br />acro-foot from Pueblo Rosorvoir was charged to the wintor wator storago, <br />If thoro wero no storago of Arkansas River wintor flows, the ovo.poration <br />from Pueblo Roservoir would amount to only about 8,000 acro-feet. This <br />amount is, thereforo, oonsidorod chnrgoablo to tho trunsbasin wntor made <br />availc,Olo b;,' tho projoct and tho saleablo wator was reducod c.ccordingly. <br />Thus, in addition to tho evaporation from Sugar Lo:'.f and 1\vin Lnkos <br />Reservoirs, FrJin~pc.n vmtor vms roducod by 7,000 acro-feet and tho addi- <br />tional wator from the ~vin ~,kos Divorsion ,vas roduced by 1,000 acro- <br />foot, P.ll wntc'r for supplcmont:cl use is considorod as being salonblo <br />to tho p~'';'jnt;.rl consorv>:\:JCY district at tho projoct gatos o.nd tro <br />problom ~: cJlloctinti for roturn flows is loft to t~~t ngonoy. <br /> <br />Tho o.nticipo.tod not rcturn from 62,300 acro-foct of supplomontal <br />wntor Wt'.S com;outod to bo :::137,280 avorago annually or 08,236,llOO for <br />c. 60-yoar rop.~YIl\Cnt poriod.
