Answer:
We can say that 15 millon acre-feet of water was allocated for beneficial
consumptive use based on the Colorado River Compact of 1992.
Explanation:
In 1992, the amount of water in Colorado River was divided among the seven
U.S. states that the river flows through. The Colorado River compact of 1992
allocated 7.5 million acre-feet of water annually for beneficial consumptive use in the
Upper basin (Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and California). This means that in 1992,
a total of 15 million acre-feet of water was allocated from the Colorado River.
