<br />III. The open planning and scientific design workshop approach is <br />important from a state and local policy viewpoint. State and local <br />groups should be involved in the planning process and may require <br />funds from the Service if they are to participate fully. Acceptance <br />of designs and eventual results by the public and state representa- <br />tives will be enhanced by involvement in the early steps. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />IV. There is increasing agreement that water produced by precipitation <br />management should be temporarily considered as a comingled part of <br />the natural water supply until such time as evaluations and technology <br />are sufficiently improved to permit identification of augmentation <br />amounts. Some form of water ownership statement, drafted by state <br />and Federal lawyers, may be required. At a meeting with western <br />governors in Albuquerqu~ New Mexico, October 10, 1979, the President <br />stated: <br /> <br />"State systems for allocating and managing water resources <br />have evolved over decades in the western United States. <br />These systems recognize the high value and relative <br />security of water. Their continuation is essential to <br />stability and equity in the West. With the exception of <br />unique Federal and Indian water rights, the states must <br />allocate their water resources in the manner best suited <br />to themselves." <br /> <br />11-7 <br /> <br /> <br />V. Environmental studies for operational precipitation management <br />should be accelerated and made a part of the public planning process. <br /> <br />VI. Three types of advisory committees should be formed soon: <br /> <br />a. A Basin group with specific interests in water management <br />and compact (legal) questions <br /> <br />b. Local groups to be involved in site selection matters and <br />community response <br /> <br />c. A scientific and technical group <br /> <br />.. <br />
