<br />1. To identify in-basin opportunities for streamflow enhancement, such <br />as' low flow or late-season flow a1ugmentation to improve existing <br />fisheries; <br /> <br />2. To examine the physical and legal availability of water in the Studl <br />Area as well as future in-basin water demands (including water for <br />streamflow enhancement); <br /> <br />3. To examine potential water and hydropower components in the Study <br />Area; <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />To determine annual water yield, cost, <br />both structural and non-structural <br /> <br />development; <br /> <br />and technical feasibility of <br />alternatives available for <br /> <br />5. To make. a prel iminary assessment of the economic and financial <br />feasibility of water development alternatives; <br /> <br />6. To examine the technical and financial feasibility of using <br />hydropower and potential out-of-basin sale of water (that is, in <br />excess of in-basin demands) to enhance the financial feasibility of <br />in-basin water development components of the project; and <br /> <br />7. To select alternative in-basin water development plans for Phase II <br />investigation. <br /> <br />The planning and design process for the entire project is carried out in <br />phases, each phase culminating in a decision as to whether or not the <br />particular component should continue on to the next phase. The present study <br />consists of a Phase I Feasibility Study (prefeasibi1ity) evaluation and is the <br />first step in a complex process leading to construction of a water resource <br />project. The steps in this process are illustrated in Figure 1.2 for a <br />project which includes a storage reservoir. The Study has been conducted in <br />sufficient detail to distinguish the major differences 1 among alternative plans <br />I <br />i <br /> <br />\ A f <br />~ ..^ <br /> <br />1-6 <br /> <br />I 10003137 <br />
