<br />NATIONWIOE ANALYSIS <br /> <br />Objective <br /> <br />The objective of the nationwide analysis is fivefold. <br /> <br />I. To develop, for the 106 ASA's shown in figure 4, a nationally consistent set of <br />nationwide volumetric projections (water requirements, water supplies, and <br />surpluses-deficiencies) which identify existing and potential water supply <br />problems. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />To develop for the 106 ASA's a nationally consistent set of nationwide lIon- <br />I'olllme/ric projections of agriculture and forestry production, water quality <br />problems, electric power demands, flood damages, navigation needs, fish and <br />wildlife and recreation requirements, and land and water preservation needs. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Both volumetric and nonvolumetric projections will be developed for: <br /> <br />a. A central-case future-condition scenario (i.e., "E" Series population growth <br />rates and continuation of trends in water use efficiencies, technology. and <br />water policies) <br /> <br />b. Variations from the above for the following selected issues: <br /> <br />- Agricultural export policies <br /> <br />- Irrigation efficiencies <br /> <br />- Fuel (coal and oil shale) development policies <br /> <br />- Water use price-cost sensitivities <br /> <br />- Flood plain regulation policies <br /> <br />- Patterns of land use for agriculture <br /> <br />- Full development of resources on Indian reservations <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />2. To develop for the 106 ASA's a nationally consistent set of narrative and <br />numerical infonnation, which describes to the ex ten t possible the effects on <br />national economic development, regional development, environmental quality, <br />and social well-being of the central-case and variations described in item I. <br /> <br />3. To develop for the] 06 ASA's a nationally consistent set of narrative and numeri- <br />cal information which describes the extent that requirements vary from the <br />central case as a function of the variations discussed in item 1 b. <br /> <br />10 <br />
