<br /> <br />Water Mana~ement Technical Subcommittee <br /> <br />Annual Report for July 1, 1972 - June 30, 1973 <br /> <br />Meetin~s <br /> <br />The Water Management Technical Subcommittee held four regular <br />quarterly meetings during fiscal year 1973. Each meeting for at least <br />a day preceeded the parent committee meeting and at the same location. <br /> <br />Officers for Fy 1973 were Kenneth G. Renard, Agricultural <br />Research Service, Chairman; and Wendell A. Styner, Soil Conservation <br />Service, Secretary. <br /> <br />Field trips were held in connection with the 72-3 and 73-1 <br />meetings. Each trip of one days duration, necessitated having the <br />business meeting in the evening. The Salt Lake meeting (72-3) <br />included visits to the USGS Central Water Quality Laboratory where <br />comprehensive and rapid analytical water chemical analysis for <br />several district offices are performed using automated laboratory <br />equipment and procedures. The Subcommittee also visited the Utah <br />Water Research Laboratory, Utah State University in Logan where the <br />group was briefed on the research activities of the laboratory. <br />The laboratory tour included viewing hydraulic models, water quality <br />analysis equipment and a discussion of cold cloud seeding technology. <br /> <br />The 73-1 field trip included visiting the Cochiti Dam and <br />the Cochiti Indian Pueblo development adjacent to this major dam <br />on the Upper Rio Grande River. The land development being implemented <br />by the Pueblo and a private developer anticipates a population of <br />up to 50,000. The dam and reservoir project are one unit of the flood <br />control phase of a comprehensive plan for the Rio Grande and its <br />tributaries being constructed by the US Corps of Engineers. <br /> <br />Task Forces <br /> <br />On compliance with previous decisions of the Subcommittee <br />members, only three active task forces were maintained. <br /> <br />The River Mileage Index Group chaired by Howard Matthai, <br />has made excellent progress in compiling their material. The first <br />three volumes of an anticipated nine volume series are pending <br />distribution and are entitled: (1) San Joaquin River, Tulare Lake <br />and Buena Vista Lake; (2) Klamath River Basin; and (3) Napa, <br />Salinas, and Eel River Basins. Other volumes will appear as the <br />work is completed. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />14 <br />
