MR. GOODWIN:

"Doctor, I would like to ask you a question.
How come you are more interested in ground
water quality and you didn't show any definite
project for surface water quality?"

DR. EVANS:

"The third one down the list was related to
surface water quality. It dealt with tempera-
ture as a quality, water temperature is a quality
project for surface water."

MR. ,GOODWIN:

"Thank you."

DR. EVANS:

"Those projects 'that I' have just touched
on constitute our present program but future
programs should and can reflect the state
interests because the sums are allocated to
the Center and then we allocate them to the
projects. With joint communication and con-
sultation with your Board and staff and the
staffs and boards of other water agencies,
we should be able to direct these allotment
projects quite heavily along the lines the
state needs because we have a reasonable amount
of freedom. It isn't complete freedom because
any project we do carryon has to ultimately
be approved by the federal office. We do have
the abilities to form them, originate them,
project what they ought to be and my picture
is that we can, and will, and should get our-
selves together on that program so that it can
serve the maximum value to Colorado. We can
do that quite effectively.

Here's the other program that is funded
through the federal source. It's called the
matching program and here are the list of proj-
ects which are now going on:

Low Gradient Irrigation, a study of the
efficiency of water application by surface
methods; Small Watershed Floods, a hydrology
study and you'll see this this afternoon;
one I have abbreviated with the words 'Policy
Making Options', this is a political science
project and you'll hear from the representative
of Political Science later this morning;
