With recent cuts in federal programs that have historically supplied <br />much of this data, there is a critical need to continue to not only maintain data collection <br />at existing sites, but to expand the program into other streams and watersheds. The <br />state's Decision Support Systems, which have been or are currently being developed, <br />cannot operate adequately without this raw data. <br /> <br />Water Conservation Planning Program <br /> <br />1.
