California users of Colorado <br />River water already suffer high economic losses from the high salinity <br />concentration of the water and will be subject to additional millions <br />of dollars of detriments each year if the projected rise in salinity <br />is not checked. <br /> <br />The Board supports the basin-wide approach to salinity control <br />which will maintain salinity in the lower mainstream while the basin <br />states continue to develop their compact apportioned waters. The <br />Board also strongly supports the coequal development of water and <br />salinity control measures. <br /> <br />The Board's staff has actively worked <br />of the Forum in developing the 1981 review. <br />the Forum's efforts in salinity control and <br />Colorado River Basin Salinity Standards. <br /> <br />with the other members <br />The Board fully supports <br />the 1981 Review of the <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />\~.{1..~ <br /> <br />Myron B.
