<br /> <br />plans are displayed in four accounts: National economic develop- <br />ment: environmental quality: regional development: and social well <br />being. A Recommended Plan formulated by tradeoffs between the NED <br />and EQ Plans is also displayed and evaluated. <br />National Economic Development. This account focuses on changes <br />in economic efficiency and the value of output of goods and services. <br />Environmental Quality. The contributions added to or sub- <br />tracted from environmental quality by various plan elements or <br />programs are displayed in this account. <br />Regional Development. The local and regional effects of a <br />program on employment, population distribution, income, economic <br />base, and environmental conditions of special regional concern are <br />shown under this account. <br />Social Well Being. Those effects related to life, health, <br />safety, real income distribution, education, recreation, and <br />culture are displayed in this account. <br />Alternative Futures <br />Alternative future conditions were analyzed to determine the <br />range of possible conditions and also the sensitivity of water <br />and related resource demands to different population estimates. <br />All water-use functions were analyzed with respect to projected <br />changes in population and none was found to be significantly in- <br />fluenced by the projected future population range. <br />Alternative futures also were used in projecting the rate of <br />ground water irrigation development. The sensitivity of these <br />alternatives on water use was much greater than the alternative <br />population future. <br /> <br />1-16 <br />
