Insofar as inLer-agency planning is concerned, <br />authorized and recommended projects have been considered as projects <br />in being and have not been subjected to re-analysis and re-evaluation <br />by the AWRBIAC. However, certain changes in these projects resulting <br />from further study by the sponsoring agencies are reflected in this <br />report including in some cases, elimination of projects from the <br />plan. <br /> <br />Many elements of the plan have received only preliminary <br />investigation while others have been studied in considerable detail. <br />The degree of detail of the investigations of each proposal is <br />indicated in the project evaluation statements included in this <br />section of the AWR Report. Alternative solutions to specific pro- <br />blems are identified although it should b. recognized that not all <br />alternatives have been investigated. The tentative nature of many <br />of the proposals is such as to warrant consideration at some future <br />time of other solutions which may become apparent under changed' <br />conditions. <br /> <br />Where particular elements appeared to constitute the <br />most promising solutions to certain existing or proepective <br />problems they have been included in the plan even though they are <br />not economically feasible under present conditions. Some of these <br />may become feasible in the future, while others may never warrant <br />development. <br /> <br />Considerable effort was made to obtain coordination <br />between projects and programs. Except where alternatives are <br />designated, the projects have been fitted together economically <br />and hydrologically to the extent that most overlaps in claimed <br /> <br />Hi <br />
