o PREFACE (- ) N ~ Con ~ It is the purposs of this section to set forth available in- formation on individual water use and control projects or pro~ams included in the AWR plan which serve ons or ,more of the followil18 functions I flood oontrol, navigation, drainage, irrisat10n and reclamation, hydrosleotrio power, and domestio and industrial water suPP13"'. The elements of the plan are, for the most part, proposals of separate asencies which were formulated in acoordance vi th agenoy polioies and. procedures, and adjusted to varyil18 degrees through coordination by theAWRBIAC. Prior to initiation of the AWR survey, a larse number of water use and control projects had been planned, me.n;r of which had been authorized. by the Congress whils others had been reoommended for developlllent. Insofar as Interagenoy plaIll1il18 is conoerned, authorized and reoommended proJeots have been considered as projeots in being and have not been subjected to reanalysis and re-evaluation by the ,AWRBIAC';. However, oertain changes in these projects reeultil18 fiam further study by the sponsoring agencies are reflected in this report includil18', in some' cases, elimination of the projects f'rom the plan. . Many elements of the plan haVe reoeivedon13" preliminary invest1sation while others have been studied ill. considerable de- tail. The degree of detail of the investisations of eaoh proposal is indicated in the project evaluation statements inoluded in this section of the AWR RepOrt. Alternative eolutions to specific problema are identified although it should be recognized that not all alternatives have been investisated. The tentative nature of IlBDy of "the proposals is suoh as to warrant oonsideration at some future time of other solutions whioh may become apparent u,nder changed conditions. Where partioular elements appeared to constitute the most promising solutions to certain existil18 or prospective problems they have been included in the plan even though they are not eco- nomically feasible under present conditions. Some of these IlBY become feasible in the future, while others may never warrant development. Considerable effort was made to obtain coordination between projects and programs. Exoept where alternatives are designated, the projeots have been fitted tosether economically and hydrologi- cal13" to the extent that most overlaps in claimed benefits have been eliminated. In SOlll8 areas, no signifioant interrelationships between projeots exist. Where interrelationships are significant, further inV9stisations are required to provide a basis for achievil18 hydrologio and eoonomic coordina tion prior to development. The 11i
