<br />Constraints on Quantity for Diversion. The High Plains Study Council realizing <br /> <br />that transfer of water into the High Plains area was possible only with the <br />cooperation of the impacted states, attempted to allay the states' concerns <br />with the passage of Resolution 6. The full text of Resolution 6 is shown in <br />Attachment 1. In essence it provides that existing and future beneficial needs <br />in the basins of origin will be met before water is considered available for <br /> <br />transfer. The Corps studies have been limited by the provisions of Resolution <br /> <br />6 as much as possible. However in the case of the Missouri River sources, <br /> <br />which have been evaluated as having little or no flow in excess of the quantities <br /> <br />required for cocnp1iance with the Resolution 6, the report contains costs for <br /> <br />larger quantities. The High Plains liaison Committee concurred in this approach <br />to allow display of costs for a reasonable range of flows from each source. <br /> <br />The range of quant it i es cons i dered for each route is shown below. These <br /> <br />quant it i es were in tu rn used to est i mate cost s. The quant it i es represent the <br /> <br />amounts deliverable to the farm. The diversion amounts are significantly larger <br /> <br />because of losses in transfer. <br /> <br />ROUTE <br /> <br />RANGE OF FLOWS USED TO DETERMINE COSTS <br />(Million acre-feet per year) l! <br /> <br />C <br /> <br />1.910 - 3.404 <br />1.615 - 3.404 <br />1.260 - 7.510 <br />1.548 - 8.680 <br /> <br />A <br /> <br />B <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />l!
