<br />~ <br /> <br />There were also some directives which concerned instream flows directly. <br />I am personally somewhat concerned that these directives are weak and could <br />have been stronger; however, we were faced with the problem of essentially <br />what can the Federal government do in the area of instream flows without <br />becoming entangled in State water law. <br />Now obviously the question is: How much good are all these directives <br />going to do? How much water are the water conservation directives going <br />to save? Will planning be improved sufficiently to really consider the kind <br />of procedures you were developing here? I am afraid that I cannot adequately <br />answer any of these questions. We've simply got to wait and see. <br />I think that the point of all of this once again is that the work you are <br />doing here is very vital and is absolutely necessary if procedures and <br />requirements are put into place for insuring future minimum streamflows. <br />It's just the same as floodplain management. You must first have the maps. <br />However, these efforts of quantification of required minimum streamflows are <br />only one part of a very complicated process. Without adequate planning and <br />decisionmaking processes, your procedures for estimating instream flow needs <br />will be ignored. Consequently, I have tried to put your work here in the big <br />picture and demonstrate its importance as well as the importance of other <br />components of the system. <br />Thank you for this opportunity to comment. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />15 <br />
