16. Water Resources Data - Two reports on water resources data were
prepared and distribUted by the Hydrologic Sub-Committee. These include;

(1)

(2)

Water Availability and Quality in the Arkansas-White-
Red Basins.
Ground Water in the Arkansae-,,'hite-Red Basins.

The Water Resources Data Work Group has prepared and distributed
the following reports:

(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)

Climatological Data Inventory for the Arkansas-White-
Red River :Basins.
In:l.ex of Surface-Water Records, Red River Basin.
Index of Surface-Water Records, ,:hite River :Basin.
Index of Surface-Water Records, Arkansas River Basin.

The following reports have been prepared but have not yet bsen

17. Mapp1ng - Ea!"ly in the AWR study, this work group made and
publ1shed-aIlIiiVe:::ttor,f of mps available for the AWR area and set up
a map information office in ~he Department of Interior AWR Office in
Tulsa to serve the various ag<mcies participating in the study. The
work group agreed on the specifications for a base map which could be ussd
uniformly for reporting purposes. This map has been prepared but has
not been printed. Approval of the base map by A\,'RBIAC remains to be
obtained before its adoption for standard use in the comprehensive report.
The Federal and State agencies were canvassed early in the Committee
activity to determine their requirements for standard topographic mapping.
(By-prOducts of the topographic mapping program are understood as being
basic horizontal and vertical control and aerial photography.) The
results of the original canvass will be the data upon which the mapping
work group will base its tentative plan.
