Abstract
The Santa Margarita Project in Southern California will develop approximately between 11,000 and 12,000 acre-feet of water annually for military, agricultural, industrial, and municipal uses. Because the downstream beneficial uses will be few, flow regulation for water quality control will not be needed below the project reservoirs. Nutrient-rich waste flows entering the project reservoirs from upstream developments are predicted to have a significant adverse impact on the quality of the impounded waters. The most feasible plan to alleviate this problem requires transport of wastes from the Upper Basin to areas below the two proposed reservoirs. A water quality management program for the entire basin is essential to the success of this project and to the ultimate development of the basin's water resources. (Author)
