<br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />.. 0011U <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />The basic objective of the study was to plan for the best use of water and related <br />land resources to meet projected needs to the year 2020. (Illustration 1) Using 1965 <br />as a base year, projections of future demands for food and fiber were made for the <br />entire United States by the Office of Business Economics and the Economic Re. <br />search Service. These national projections were then broken down and allocated to <br />each of 18 Water Resource Regions in the United States. The reader must under- <br />stand that these projections are only one set of many possible. Furthermore, the <br />plan presented is only one method of meeting the needs of this particular set of <br />projections. This consideration is important when the plan is compared to those <br />formulated by other groups, agencies or states. <br /> <br />OBJECTIVES <br /> <br />THE BASIC OBJECTIVE - TO PROVIDE THE BEST USE OR <br />COMBINATION OF USES OF WATER AND RELATED <br />LAND RESOURCES TO MEET ALL FORESEEABLE NEEDS <br />PROJECTED TO YEAR 2020 WITH FULL CONSIDERATIONS TO <br />- , <br />DEVELOPMENT PRESERVATION WEll BEING OF PEOPLE <br />ECONOMIC OEVELOPMENT UNlUUE NATURAL BEAUTY THE OVERRIDING <br />WATER STORAGE FACILITIES HISTORlCAllNTEREST DETERMINANT IN <br />HYDROElECTRIC POWER SCIENTIFIC INTEREST CONSIDERING THE <br />FLOOD CONTROL MEASURES UNCROWDED LAND BEST USE OF <br />LAND STABILIZATION MEASURES MAINTAIN AND ENHANCE WATER AND <br />LAND DRAINAGE MEASURES ENVIRONMENTAL DUALITY RELATED LAND <br />WATERSHEO PROTECTION RESOURCES. <br />RECREATION FACILITIES AVOID RESOURCE <br />FISH AND WilDLIFE AND DEVELOPMENT <br />WATER QUALITY MEASURES USE FOR THE <br />HEAL TH PROTECTION MEASURES BENEFIT OF A FEW <br /> <br />Illustration 1 <br />
