On the public lands, water use will be largely confined to use by <br /> <br />livestock, wildlife, and recreationists. <br /> <br />. . 6. Research programs (l968-l980). Future demands and uses of the <br /> <br />public lands will dictate the amount and nature of research required for , <br /> <br />maintaining the public lands at their optimum productive capacity, It is ex- <br /> <br />pectedthat the Bureau will develop research projects in outdoor recreation <br /> <br />and continue to cooperate in certain management research projects related. <br /> <br />to such programs as range reseeding: Econo'mic studies will be promoted <br /> <br />30 <br /> <br />
