The municipal supply includes drinking water and water far <br />use in the change houses and mining facilities.

This water requirement is not <br />considered further in this report. - <br />• <br />• <br />The industrial water supply for each mining area has <br />two components, listed below with the estimated annual' <br />requirement in acre-feet.

A factor of <br />0.7 was used to convert pan evaporation to .pond evaporation. <br />A second factor of 1.06 was also"~used to adjust for the " <br />evaporation difference 'between the Montrose station and NUCLA <br />and NDCLA EAST mining areas.
