e e e I' ULii~~'~ Z/ S',h-activity Eight - During this sub-activity the Regional Sponsor will document in a final form for each ASA the difference~ between th" Modifi"d Central Case and the Regional Preference Future including differences in projections and assumptions, but not effects information (Differences In Effects iinformation will be documented in Sub-activity Fourteen) . The Study Director, assisted by his staff or a small work group (part of Group A), will be responsibl" for documenting these differences in a technical memorandum to the W RC and Activity Two participants. This technical memorandum will be a final product of Activity Two, and will be contained in the Specific Problem Analysis Report. Sub- activities Nine and Ten - During these sub-activities the Regional Sponsor will develop a final problem list plus associated. t'.,oblem Areas and Analytical A.reas by extracting and regrouping from the tot"al set of accumu- lated p"oblems those Problems that cover .all the severe problem situations in the region, leaving behind problems that are overlapping, redundant, not consistent with the assumptions or final Regional preference ~ture project- ions, or not severe enough to warrant further consideration. The list of severe water and related land Problems will be contained in two sections. .The-first section will contain those problems that become severe between 1975 and 1985; and the second section will contain those problems becoming severe after 1985 but before the year 2000. The Roblems will be presented in the same format used for the initial problem list (see Figure 3). The process of regrouping is a very loose process and relies heavi ly on the background and ingenuity of those doing it. The most difficult part initially, will be to determine a severity threshold below which the severity of any :[:l"oblem would not warrant further consideration. This threshold will be easier to determine once the full range of problem severities is known. Of course. the higher the threshold the fewer the p-oblems that will survive the screening process. It is suggested that a low threshold be used to start with and then increased until a practical level is reached. The Study -Director will be responsible for doing this activity with the assistance of his immediate staff or a selected interagency work group (part of Group A). Upon completing '\ proposed final ,~roblem list plus associated problem Areas. and Analytical Areas, the Study Director should provide the list and supporting descriptive information to the policy group selected by the Regional Sponsor to finalize the list by either approving or modifying the list as appropriate.
