This information <br />can also be used in the preparation of state water plans, an effort supported under <br />the Water Resources Planning Act. <br />Many constraints were imposed on this study in the interest of collecting as many <br />relevant facts as possible during the limited period of study. <br />Available published and unpublished data were used in the preparation of study <br />data, but no new basic data were generated. <br />The year 1965 was designated as the base year for the study and all references to <br />present conditions relate to this date. <br />Water imports were limited to those being made in 1965 and to those to be made <br />under authorized projects that will be developed before the year 2020. Water reo <br />quirements beyond the resources of the Region will be met from desalting ocean <br />water. <br />Time was also a constraint. The study was started in the Fall of 1968 and was <br />scheduled to be completed by June 30, 1971. <br />The Great Basin Region is one of eighteen major drainage basins in the United <br />States included in a nationwide program of comprehensive planning for the develop. <br />ment, use, and management of water and related land resources. (Illustration 2) The <br />Great Basin Region includes six subregions: Bear River, Great Salt Lake, Sevier <br />Lake, Humboldt, Central Lahontan and Tonopah.
