The planning process is
so that the concerns can be organized into an overall set of planning objectives.
These will be used to guide the development of overall drainage concepts and
plans and specific designs, The Denver Council views the determination
of user needs, which might more broadly be interpreted as regional planning
objectives, as the responsibility of elective management, the attendent

public agencies and the general public, The next step consists of develop-
ing alternative conceptual designs, This step receives the major share of
the attention of the planners. The last component is considered to be
the technical element and consists of the traditional design, construction,
and operation of the works.
The definite emphasis placed on the conceptual design indicates sub-
stantial effort is devoted to the physical appearance and configuration
of the works as components of the urban system,
The development of alternative conceptual designs results in one of
two master plans that are viewed as the major tools for managing a drain-

age shed.

One of the master plans is entitled a "Preventive Master Plan"
