The Council realizes that decisions to termi- <br /> <br />nate data collection at a partlcular Jaging stations are <br /> <br />carefuly considered, but it is concerned that the factors <br /> <br />related to salinity contpol ,aay be inadvectently negleQted. <br /> <br />The Council is aware that as available funds are reduced, <br />pl'oject objectives are completed, and hydrologic information <br /> <br />needs change, priorities for sampling locations, types and <br /> <br />frequency of data collection must be reassessed. TUe <br /> <br />Council encourages the Survey to continually reassess the <br /> <br />basin neeos in coordination with the Council and to r'equest <br /> <br />sufficient funding to maintain the necessary stations. <br /> <br /> <br />F'ul'thec analysis and interpl'etatlon of hydl'ologic data <br /> <br /> <br />are also needed to plan and evaluate the salinity control <br /> <br />program. In FY 19d4, the Survey published two such salinity- <br /> <br />related reports: <br /> <br />l.
