Abstract |
An evaluation of the Bureau of Reclamation's proposed Grand Mesa Project indicates that with adequate treatment municipal, industrial and other domestic waste loadings should not significantly affect water quality for present and projected water uses in the project area. Therefore, no storage in Electric Mountain and Cactus Park Reservoirs is needed to provide flow regulation for maintaining satisfactory water quality in the Gunnison River. Control measures are recommended for incorporation into the construction and operation of the project to mitigate the adverse effects of increased salinity. |
