<br />"I <br /> <br />"' J.1;....11 <br />U \ '1 oJ" <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />weather in the river basin is affected by broader world climate <br />trends, which are undoubtedly controlled by the general circulation. <br />This research will tie directly to river basin water resources <br />through the work of Part (2). There is a clear possibility that <br />extreme values of general circulation may occur in future years, <br />and may indeed fall entirely outside the range of variation that <br />has occurred during the period of historical data on stream flow. <br />Corresponding extremes in Colorado River flow may very possibly <br />occur if this happens. Moreover, some research workers believe <br />that such extremes, when they occur, do so under some yet-unknown <br />( . <br />cosmic or solar control, and believe that there are genu1ne possi- <br />bilities of predicting their occurrence. If such discoveries are <br />made, the work of this phase of the program will allow the new dis- <br />coveries to be translated directly'into applications to the river <br />basin. As in all basic researoh programs, however, the results of <br />the research cannot certainly be foretold. <br /> <br />The program will involve a cooperative effort among: (a) the University <br /> <br />of Colorado, (b) the High Altitude Observatory and (c) Colorado State Univer- <br /> <br /> <br />sity. Moreover, the program will be a part of much larger programs of related <br /> <br />/ research at these participating institutions but carried out with other funds. <br /> <br /> <br />The data and experience from these other programs will contribute extensively <br /> <br />to the proposed program. Moreover, substantial work of related nature is in <br /> <br /> <br />progress or projected for the University of Arizona, Utah State College, Mon- <br /> <br />tana State College and the U.S. Weather Bureau. Available data from these <br /> <br /> <br />programs will also greatly assist the proposed work. <br /> <br />Results that can reasonably be expected from this program will point the <br /> <br /> <br />way for similar knowledge about other Colorado watersheds, and will be of vast <br /> <br /> <br />importance in determining the degree to which modern research techniques can <br /> <br />assist in the conversion and efficient utilization of Colorado's most precious <br /> <br /> <br />natural resource, its water. <br />
