#### Abstract

Navajo Lake, whose entire outflow disappears underground, is on the 
high Markagurit Plateau where the average annual precipitation is more than 30 
inches. It nestles among the headwaters of several streams that flow into arid 
regions where competition for municipal, industrial, and irrigation water sup- 
plies is very keen. Several proposals for additional development and use of the 
water of Navajo Lake have led to controversies and raised questions in regard to 
the total water supply and its disposition, and to the effect of the proposed 
projects on existing water rights. This report summarizes the results of an 
investigation of the water supply of Navajo Lake and the present disposition of 
that supply.
