<br />Cl <br /> <br />C.". ~ <br /> <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br /> <br />PREFACE <br /> <br />It is the purpose of this section to set forth available <br />information on individual water use and control projects or <br />programs included in AWR plan which serve one or more of the fol- <br />lowing functions: flood control, navigation, drainage, irrigation <br />and reclamation, hydroelectric power, and domestic and industrial <br />water supply. <br /> <br />The elements of the plan are, for the most part, pro- <br />posals of separate agencies which were formulated in accordance <br />with agency policies and procedures, and adjusted to varying <br />degrees through coordination by the AWRBIAC. <br /> <br />Prior to initiation of the AWR survey, a large number of <br />water use and control projects had been planned, many of which had <br />been authorized by the Congress while others had been recommended <br />for development. Insofar as inter-agency planning is concerned, <br />authorized and recommended projects have been considered as proj- <br />ects in being and have not been subjected to reanalysis and re- <br />evaluation by the AWRBIAC. However, certain changes in these. <br />projects resulting from further study by the sponsoring agencies <br />are reflected in this report including. in some cases, elimination <br />of the projects from the plan. <br /> <br />Many elements of the plan have received only preliminary <br />investigation while others have been studied in considerable detail. <br />The degree of detail of the investigations of each proposal is <br />indicated in the .project evaluation statements included in this <br />section of the AWR Report. Alternative solutions to specific <br />problems are identified although it should be recognized that not <br />all alternatives have been investigated. The tentative nature of <br />many of the proposals is such as to warrant consideration at some. <br />future time of other solutions which may become apparent under <br />changed conditions. <br /> <br />vlliere particular elements appeared to constitute the <br />most promising solutions to certain existing or prospective prob- <br />lems they have been included in the plan even though they are not <br />economically feasible under present conditions. Some of these may <br />become feasible in the future, while others may never warrant <br />development. <br /> <br />Considerable effort was made to obtain coordination <br />between projects and programs. Except where alternatives are <br />designated, the projects have been fitted together economically <br /> <br />iii <br />
