<br />a <br /> <br />,...... <br />~- <br /> <br />N <br />....: <br />w <br />~ <br /> <br />Ij <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 h,ydrologic and economic coordination prior to devel- <br />mente The project evaluation statements presented in this volume <br />set forth the investigations nseded for those projects which the <br />individual planning agencies have identified as warranting early <br />consideration for development. They also present information as <br />to the effects of specific elements on water pollution control, <br />fish and wildlife, recrsation, mosquito control and mineral <br />resources. Details of programs of agricultural research, credit <br />and education which should be undertaken in order to facilitate <br />and assure the most successM operation of the projects will have <br />to be worked 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 <br />incidental consideration of region-wide or national goals or <br />problems. A single project generally has limited effect on the <br />economy of the region or the Nation or on broad problems such as <br />total need for food and fiber, and the mainten~ce of fish and <br />wildlife resources. However, in long-range planning on a basin- <br />wide basis, the cumulative effects of numerous projects on such <br />factors may become significant. The implications of the potential <br />over-all development proposed in the AWR plan should be examined <br />as decisions are made to proceed with individual elements of the <br />plan. <br /> <br />Agency representatives of the Departments of the AI'IIIiY, <br />Agriculture, and Interior assembled this section. The data con- <br />tained herein are largely a re-editing and condensation of mate- <br />rial prepared by field representatives of the Federal agencies, <br />and State representatives during formulation of the AWR plan. <br />Representatives of the Federal agencies and States which compose <br />the AWRBIAC participated in the development of the original evalua- <br />tion statements. Leadership for that activity was furnished by <br />the State representatives. <br /> <br />iv <br />
