Five interim 7ask <br />submitted previously, each reporting in detail o <br />the study. A Final Report which discusses t <br />detailed manner is submitted under separate cove <br />as required by our <br />Memoranda have been <br />i certain aspects of <br />e study in a more <br />r. <br />The objective of this study was to identify and evaluate water <br />resource management plans to enhance the water-based economy of the <br />Study Area in an environmentally sound manner. Both structural and <br />non-structural components have been examined, evaluated and utilized <br />to formulate alternative plans which would meet in-basin needs. A <br />recomme�ded plan has bee� identified which meets the study objective. <br />Non-structural measures related to the municipal and industrial <br />' sector were found to have little potential for saving water in the <br />context of this basin-wide study because the total consumptive use in <br />this sector is less than two percent of the total consumptive use in <br />' the entire study area at present. Some of the measures identified <br />should be considered for implementation at the local level in the <br />future, however. Non-structural measures identified in the <br />' agricultural sector were determined to be either technically or <br />economically infeasible except for water rights exchanges and/or <br />transfers and drought leasing. <br />' <br />' <br />� <br />� <br />� <br />Six alternative <br />meeting future w <br />the Study Area. <br />20,000 acre-foot <br />25,000 acre-foot <br />basin; and ten r <br />cost of this pl <br />level). <br />development plans were evaluated as a means of <br />ater demands and enhancing water-based recreation in <br />The preferred plan consists of the following: a <br />multipurpose reservoir in the Ohio Creek basin; a <br />multipurpose storage reservoir in the Tomichi Creek <br />ecreation enhancement components.
