, .., 'APPENDIX A 1455 DEFINITION OF TERMS 1. Problem Issues -- These are the categories of water and related land problems. which along l'lith functional uses, vlill be used to characterize a problem. They are identified in Figure 3 (ordinate). 2. Functional Use -- These are th~ categories of water and related land uses including preservation uses, which along with problem issues, will be used to characterize problems. They are identified in Figure 3 (abscissa). 3. Problem -- A problem is defined as an anticipated failure to meet requirements for \'iater or related land resources for a single 01" a group of functional uses within a given geographical area -- a prOblem area. A problem is characterized by the intersection of a prOblem issue (e.g. water supply) and a functional use (e.g. crops) -- See Figure 3 - described as one of three degrees of severity (high, medium, or 10\'1). 4. Aggregated Subarea -- An aggregated subarea (ASA) is a multi-county geograpilic delineation as defined by HRC in the GSERS projections. 5. Problem Area -- A Problem Area is the geographic extent of a problem. 6. level B Study Area -- A Level B study al"ea is a unit of geogra~hy in which a Level B planning study is being proposed for study. Geographically, it is comprised of one or more prOblem areas plus any intervening geography bet\'ieen Problem Areas if the problem areas are not contiguous. 7. level C Studv Area -- A level C study area is a unit of geography in which a Level C planning study is being proposed for the purpose of authorization or development. 8. Special Study Area -- A special study area is a unit of geography in which a special planning study is being proposed to investigate the means to resolve a special type of prOblem (not comprehensive). 9. Implementation Program Area -- An implementation program area is the geography in which a program is being proposed for implementation. It includes projects and programs that need n:J further study to be implemented. Analytical Area -- An analytical area is a unit of geography which aoorox- ,iT:1ates either a problem area, 3tudy area, or oro9ram area for analytical purposes as supplies are being estimated, requirements are beinq projected, and effects information is beinq developed. Economic information is normally available on boundaries coinciding with groups of counties. 10. Water supply data is normally on a hydrologic basin/subbasin basis. Environmental data may be on some other basis. Therefore the boundaries. of the analytical areas change depending upon the type of information being developed.
