The following were established and <br /> <br />observed during the course of the study. <br /> <br />1.

OBERS1/ Series C population projections were used as <br /> <br />representative of future conditions and the resultant <br /> <br />demands for water and related lands. Two additional popula- <br /> <br />tion projections developed by the State were used to estimate <br /> <br />the sensitivity of various functions to population. <br /> <br />11 OBERS is an acronym representing a joint project of the Office <br />of Business Economics, (now the Bureau of Economic Analysis) <br />U.S. Department of Commerce, and the Economic Research Service, <br />u.s.
