The <br />hypothetical data in the first column indicate that the water sector <br />purchases $20,000,000 worth of goods and services from itself, <br />.$75,000,000 from trade, etc. 'The hypothetical data in the first row <br />indicate that the water sector sells $20,000,000 worth of goods and <br />services to itself, $10,000,000 to trade, etc. The sum of all pur- <br />chases by the water 'sector or sales by the mining sector represents <br />its tvtal outputn'$250, 000,000. ' <br /> <br />The government sector has been included in Table 1 to represent pri- <br />marily the ownership of public land in the region. Sales by the gov- <br />ernment sector could indicate a lease of public land to other sectors. <br />The $200,000,000 sale from the government sector to itself could rep- <br />resent a decision by society to use the public land for military pur- <br />poses. <br /> <br />N <br />cJ' <br />_1 <br />c..U <br /> <br />In order to satisfy objectives one and two it will be necessary to <br />. compile both secondary and primary information similar to the hypo- <br />'thetical data presented in Tab Ie 1. ,These data are available, but <br />considerable effort and cooperation are required of the firms, within <br />the state's economy in order to develop the necessary information. <br />It is obvious that if an analysis of this type is to be useful, the <br />information in Table 1 must be reasonably accurate. <br /> <br />Objectives Three and Four <br /> <br />Additional information can be secured from Table 1 by presenting these <br />data in a different form. One way of doing this is to divide the in- <br />dividual purchases of each consuming sector by that sector's total <br />purchases (\.hich are equal to the 'sector's total output). For example, <br />the $225,000,000 of purchases by the agriculture sector from the trade <br />sector divided by the water sector's' total purchases of $560,000,000 <br />is equal to $.40. This says that for every dollar of output produced, <br />
