ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

During the course of this study, over a score of students have

assisted in one way or another. Some of them appear as co-authors of

chapters of this report, but others had moved on to graduate school or

jobs elsewhere before the final reports were prepared. I am grateful

for the contributions each has made to the project.

The sponsor of the research leading to this report w~s The Water

and Power Resources Service of the United States Department of Interior
through a contract with the Utah Division of Water Resources. Both
Edward Novak (formerly of the Water and Power Resources Service) and Dr.
Wally Howell of the Water and Power Resources Service have visited our
study areas and offered advice and criticism that were most helpful. I
have appreciated their input. Liaison officers from the Utah Division
of Water Resources for this project were Paul Summers and Clark Ogden.
Their help in the field and in gathering literature was extensive: I
have enjoyed the contacts which I have had with them.
Dr. Merrill K. Ridd, Director of the Center for Remote Sensing and
Cartography at the University of Utah Research Institute in Salt Lake
City, has been most generous with advice, equipment, and laboratory
space. The remote sensing aspects of this study could not have been
done without his help. Dr. Melvin W. Carter of the Department of
Statistics at Brigham Young University has been very helpful in respect
to statistical analysis of the data. Lorelei Swingle typed the final
report and Naomi E. Hebbert designed the cover.
