<br />ACKNOWLEDGMENTS <br /> <br />The authors are pleased to acknowledge the assistance and <br />encouragement provided during the course of this study by Roger <br />Hansen of Reclamation's Provo Utah Projects Office and Clark <br />Ogden and Barry Saunders of the Utah (DNR) Division of Water <br />Resources. Craig Miller of the DNR performed the economic <br />analysis of the value of augmented river flows. Personnel of the <br />National Weather Service Office River Forecast Center in Salt <br />Lake City modeled the amounts of additional runoff to be <br />expected with various snowfall increases. John Lease, Chief of <br />Reclamation's Water Augmentation Group, reviewed the draft <br />manuscript and suggested several improvements. <br /> <br />Mission: As the Nation's principal conservation agency, <br />the Department of the Interior has responsibility for most <br />of our nationally owned public lands and natural and <br />cultural resources. This includes fostering wise use of <br />our land and water resources, protecting our fish and <br />wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values <br />of our national parks and historical places, and providing <br />for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The <br />Department assesses our energy and mineral resources <br />and works to assure that their development is in the best <br />interests of all our people. The Department also <br />promotes the goals of the Take Pride in America <br />campaign by encouraging stewardship and citizen <br />responsibility for the public lands and promoting citizen <br />participation in their care. The Department also has a <br />major responsibility for American Indian reservation <br />communities and for people who live in Island Territories <br />under U.S. Administration. <br /> <br />The information contained in this report regarding commercial <br />products or firms may not be used for advertising or promotional <br />purposes and is not to be construed as an endorsement of any <br />product or firm by the Bureau of Reclamation. <br /> <br />ii <br />
