<br />00311*5 <br /> <br />CWIC Report <br /> <br />PSIAC Meeting 80-3 <br /> <br />Efforts have been initiated to develop workshops for regional research <br />formulation on the following topics: <br /> <br />1. Effects of metal, fossil fuel, and other mining activity on <br />surface runoff, water quality, and .groundwater~movement and <br />quality, coordinated through Utah State University, <br /> <br />2. Processes of salt pickup in surface waters and movement through <br />channels and' reservoirs for use in more effective water manage- <br />ment on range and crop areas and other methods of salinity <br />control, coordinated through the University of Nevada, Reno, <br /> <br />3, Conjunctive ground-surface water management, coordinated through <br />the University of California, Davis, <br /> <br />4, Contamination of ground and surface waters by heavy metals, <br />organics, and other toxic chemicals, coordinated through Colorado <br />State University, <br /> <br />5. Optimal allocation of "new" water including water developed by <br />cloud seeding, evaporation suppression, wa~er harvesting, etc. <br />coordinated through the University of Arizona, <br /> <br />6, Use of brackish and saline waters in the cultivation and pro- <br />cessing of agricultural crops.for synthetic rubber products <br />coordinated through New Mexico State University,. <br /> <br />A four-day conference on the Aquatic Resource Management of the <br />Colorado River Ecosystem is being planned at Utah State University for <br />September or October 1981. Conference purposes are to 1) provide an over- <br />view of the present and potential impacts of energy developments and new <br />energy technologies on the Colorado River ~ystem, 2) describe the impacts <br />of the major reservoirs (sedimentation, salinity, and trophic status) On <br />the Colorado River system, 3) describe the potential impacts of interbasin <br />water transfers on the Colorado River system, 4) review the role of ground- <br />water and overland flow on the reservoirs and interreservoir stream systems. <br />The goal of the conference will be to provide a comprehensive picture of <br />the current research and new technological developments occurring in the <br />Colorado River Basin and to provide for the water user how these data and <br />technologies may be applied to the future management of the Colorado River <br />system, PSIAC and member agency support and participation is requested, <br />Further information can be obtained from Dr'.
