The basic purpose of this study <br />element was to assess the opportunities and potentials for importing supple- <br />mental waters into the High Plains Study Region, in order to augment regional <br />water supplies for agricultural and other needs. <br /> <br />Two distinct although related components of the water importation <br />assessments were: 1) intrastate interbasin water transfer potentials, to be <br />assessed by the individual study states in coordination with the General <br />Contractor and the Corps of Engineers, and 2) interstate interbasin transfers <br />from adjacent river basins into the High Plains Region, to be conducted by <br />the Corps of Engineers in cooperation with the General Contractor. <br /> <br />Both the enabling legislation for the overall study P.L. 94-587, Sec. <br />193) and adopted study designs and plans of work spelled out the division of <br />responsibil ities for the various components of the B-1 water transfer studies <br />among the states, the General Contractor and the Corps. <br /> <br />The resulting analysis and assessment of a large number of potential <br />water transfer opportunities, and the subsequent narrowing of that potential <br />] ist to a set of either intra- or interstate options was then incorporated <br />into the economic, envi ronmental and insti tuti onal assessment of the basic <br />alternative water management strategies adopted to guide the overall study. <br /> <br />The findings and projected impacts of the water transfer elements are <br />incorporated in Chapter Six of the Final Report, Six-State High Plains- <br />Ogallala Aquifer Regional Resources Study, dated March 1982. More detailed <br />treatment of the various water transfer elements can be found in the Final <br />Report of the U. S. Army Corps of Engi neers, dated November, 1982 and in the <br />individual state study elements. <br /> <br />ix <br />
