<br />OVERVIEW OF THE 1975 ASSESSMENT <br /> <br />Major Products <br /> <br />In accomplishing the objectives of the 1975 Assessment, five major products will be <br />developed and reported for two future time periods (1975-1985 and 1985-2000) from both <br />the State-regional viewpoint and the national viewpoint. The major products, in reverse <br />order of development, are: <br /> <br />. Detailed conclusions and recommendations regarding <br /> <br />- The national interest and Federal role in resolving high-priority problems <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />- The need for more detailed planning studies <br /> <br />- The need for additional or modified data-collection and compilation programs to <br />support recommended problem resolution activities <br /> <br />. Priorities for problem issues and problem areas (see fig. 1). <br /> <br />. Economic, environmental, and social impact information developed consistent with <br />the "Principles and Standards" which describes the severity of individual and groups <br />of problem issues within selected problem areas. <br /> <br />. 1975, 1985, and 2000 water requirements, supply, and deficiency information for <br />future scenarios for 106 geographic units (aggregated subareas-ASA's) am121 WRC <br />regions (see figs. 2 and 4). <br /> <br />. Explicitly stated assumptions upon which the above are based. <br /> <br />These major products will be documented in (a) a national report to be prepared <br />by the WRC staff and the NPA Committee and (b) regional reports for thc 21 WRC <br />regions to be prepared by regional sponsors (see fig. 2). <br /> <br />In developing these products, the 1975 Assessment will identify and address a wide <br />variety of problem issues including, for example, (a) the adequacy of existing supplies <br />(volume, surface area, quality, and instream tlow characteristics) to meet existing and <br />future needs, (b) contlicts of use, (c) legal. institutional, and financial constraints and <br />opportunities, and (d) other problem issues identified by assessment participants. <br /> <br />The 1975 Assessment also permits a broad range of conclusions and recommendations <br />to be developed from both the State-regional and national viewpoints. However, those <br />devcl0ped will focus upon: <br /> <br />. Those specific planning, research, and data-collection activities which need to be under- <br />taken to resolve sev~re problem issues within selecteu problem areas and the Federal <br />role therein. <br /> <br />4 <br />
