242 limits the quantity of water pumped from the combination of private wells and the unit well field to 160,000 acre-feet annually. Ariz. This water , when combined with the drainage and regulatory waste flows from the Valley Division of the Yuma Project, will make up the 140,000 acre-feet per year of water delivered to Mexico at the Southerly International Boundary. In connection with the desalting plant, but to be investigated independently, Section 101 c of the act authorized the Reject Stream Replacement Study to identify feasible measure which could adequately replace the water lost through reject from the Yuma Desalting Plant and any Wellton Mohawk drainage water bypassed to the Santa Clara Slough. The source of any such replacement water was limited by the act to the States of Arizona, Colorado, California, New Mexico, and those portion of Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming which are within the natural drainage basin of the Colorado River.

Title II Title II of the Salinity Control Act authorized several specific salinity control units upstream from Imperial Dam to meet the objectives and standards set by the Clean Water Act. The cost effective portions of these units have all been completed. BLM s program is designed to provide the best management of the basic resource base. Successes with the resource base will translate to improved vegetation cover, better use of onsite precipitation, and stronger plant root systems. Colorado River Salinity Control projects.
