"Currently, less than I percent of Alaska's water resources have been allocated for various uses. In comparison <br />to other states, Alaska's population of approximately 600,000 people is relatively small versus the state's large <br />geogmphic size and environmental diversity. Many population centers and most waterways are inaccessible by <br />road. Similarly less than one percent of the state's waterways have been inventoried to establish short- and long- <br />term seasonal water volumes and availability. Historical baseline biologic data are also limited." <br />httn:lfwww.sf.adf~.state.ak.usfstatewidelinstflow/islhome.ctin on Jul 13,2004 <br /> <br />- . <br />,.\\,e.b Sites oJ l.nteresC . <br /> <br />. httD:l/www.adfg.stale.ak.us/Alaska Department ofFish & Game <br />. httn:flwww.sf.adfg.state.ak.usfstatewide/instllow/islhome.cfm Statewide Aquatic Resources Coordination Unit <br />(SARCU) <br />. httn:llwww.dnr.state.ak.us/mlw/water/index.htm Division of Mining, Land & Water, Water Resources Program <br />. httn:llwww.dnr.state.ak.us/mlw/factshtlwtr fslinstream.pdfReserving Water for Instream Use Fact Sheet <br />. httn:llwww.dnr.state.ak.uslmlw/factshtlwtr fs/fed rsv.ndfFederal Reserved Water Rights Fact Sheet <br />. httn:llwww.dnr.state.ak.us/mlw/factshtlwtr fslwtr r t. dfWater Ri ts in Alaska Fact Sheet <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Sources <br />.
