32 <br />The information developed for each geographic unit will be comprised of <br />narrative descriptions, subjective evaluations and as much numerical <br />information as practicable that documents the following: <br />o Nature of the problerr:- <br />o Location and extent of the problem <br />o Cause and source of the problem <br />o Future condition assumptions causing the problem <br />o Magnitude and frequency of the deficiencies <br />o Economic,- environmental and social impact of the <br />deficiencies <br />o Extent and nature of ongoing implementation, planning, <br />research, and data - collection activities to resolve the <br />problem <br />o Other information that will help determine its severity <br />and urgency <br />Because a deficiency in any of these properties reflects com- <br />petition for the use of that water property by the various user categories, <br />keen attention will be given to providing information on how each user <br />category could be affected by identified deficiencies. <br />Surface area, depth and cross section: The analysis of the adequacy of the <br />surface area, depth and cross section property of water will consider the <br />competitive and complementary nature of navigation, fish and wildlife, <br />reacreation,,wetlands, and natural area preservation uses within each <br />geographic unit. Accordingly, as in analyzing the adequacy of the volu- <br />metric property, priorities for the rights of use of this water property <br />also will be considered in discussing the impact of deficiencies. <br />Flow characteristics (flooding and low flow): The analysis of the adequacy <br />of in- stream and estuarial (tidal) flow characteristics within each geo- <br />graphic unit will consider both (1) the problems caused by uncontrollable <br />flood flow characteristics and (2) fish and wildlife, recreation, wetland, and <br />Mural area preservation problems caused by improper low flow characteristics. <br />The adequacy analysis involving flood problems, for example, will <br />consist of identifying current flood problems and the areas having a future <br />potential for severe flood problems if no corrective action is taken. The <br />effect of current (1975) flood plain zoning restrictions on flood plain <br />development will be reflected in the flood damage computations. <br />
