<br />'-:l <br /> <br />.(~) <br /> <br />N <br />-.J <br />~ <br /> <br />benefits have been eliminated. In some areas, no significant inter- <br />relationships between projects exist. Where interrelationships are <br />significant, further investigations are required to provide a basis <br />for achieving hydrologic and economic coordination prior to develop- <br />ment. The project evaluation statements presented in this volume <br />set forth the investigations needed for those projects which the <br />individual planning agencies have identified as warranting early <br />consideration for development. They also present information a8 to <br />the effects of specific elements on water pollution control, fish <br />and wildlife, recreation, mosquito control and mineral resources. <br />Details of programs of agricultural research, credit and education <br />which 8hould be undertaken in order to facilitate and assure the <br />most successful operation of the projects will have to be worked <br />out when project plans become more definite. <br /> <br />For the most part, elements of the plan were formulated <br />to provide solutions to specific problems in local areas with inci- <br />dental consideration of region-wide or national goals or problems. <br />A single project generally has limited effect on the econ~ of the <br />region or the Nation or on broad problems such as total need for <br />food and fiber, and the maintenance of fish and wildlife resources. <br />However, in long-range planning on a basin-wide basis, the cumula- <br />tive effects of numerous projects on such factors may become slgnif~- <br />cant. The implications of the potential over-all development pro- <br />posed in the AWR Plan should be examined as decisions are made to <br />proceed with individual elements of the plan. . <br /> <br />Agency representatives of the Departments of the A~, <br />Agriculture, and Interior assembled this section. The data con- <br />tained herein are largely a re-editing and condensation of material <br />prepared by field representatives of the Federal agencies, and <br />State representatives during formulation of the AWR Plan. Repre- <br />sentatives of the Federal agencies and States which compose the <br />AWRBIAC participated in the development of the original evaluation. <br />Leadership for that activity was furnished by the State <br />representatives. <br /> <br />. ..' <br /> <br />iv <br />
