<br />I <br /> <br />~le third element in the report pertains <br />to the study of the ArJ,anaas River belO\'1 John <br />llartin Dam. Investigations and studies for <br />flood control and related purposes are being <br />continued in the subbasin from John uartin Dum <br />down to Great Bend, Kansas, in cooperation with <br />10Cul interests, state, and other federal agen- <br />cies. In colorado, consideration iG peing given <br />to a system of detention reservoirs on the <br />principal tributaries of the Arkanoas River <br />belo\1 John ~~rtin Dam, local protection projects, <br />and channel and levee improvements on the main <br />otem from John Hartin Dam to the Colorado-Kansas <br />state line. Studies have not yet advanced to <br />the point necesGary to select a tentative plan <br />of improvement. 1'1hen the plans of potential <br />projects are more fully developed, we will pre- <br />sent them to local intereGts and interested <br />agencies for informal comment and suggestions. <br />At that time, the requirements of local coop- <br />eration also will be presented and aosurances <br />of local coopera'.:ion \,/ill be requested of <br />sponGoring organizations. <br /> <br />The fourth and major element of my report <br />pertains to the preauthorization planning on <br />the l\rkansas River above John uartin Dam. 1\.0 <br />I am Gure all of you kno\'I, the study of the <br />ArJ;ansas above John l,lartin Dom by the 1\lbuquer- <br />que District has been in progress for 0 number <br />of years, most intenoively within the last four <br />years. During this period the Albuquerque Dis- <br />trict has made an analysia of the flood prob- <br />lemG and of the opportunity for water resources <br />development along the main stem of the 1\;:J;ansas <br />River from Leadville d0\1n to John Martin Dam <br />and on the tributarieG. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The ne~:t stage involves the oelection of <br />potential projects for specific consideration. <br />1'1ithin recent months then, \'Ie have been con- <br />ducting detailed studies of these potential <br />projects for their technical and for their <br />economic feasibility. In general, we have <br />been unable to justify the construction of <br />
