In troduc tion <br /> <br />The 1975 Assessment of water and related land resources in the <br /> <br />Arkansas-White-Red Region is designed to identify and describe the <br /> <br />severe water problems, indicate priorities, and to emphasize the need <br /> <br />to resolve those problems. This Technical Memorandum (T.M.) is con- <br /> <br />cerned with the identification of problems in those portions of the <br /> <br />eight States of Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, <br /> <br />New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas which form the Arkansas-White-Red <br /> <br />Region. The data summarized herein is the result of performance of <br /> <br />Activity One, Problem Identification of Phase II by the Arkansas-White- <br /> <br />Red Ad Hoc Assessment Committee in conformance with 8 Memorandum of <br /> <br />Agreement signed March 5, 1975, by Charles I. McGinnis, Chairman of <br /> <br />the Arkansas-White-Red Basins Inter-Agency Committee as Regional Sponsor, <br /> <br />and signed April 18, 1975, by Warren D. Fairchild, Director of the <br /> <br />Water Resources Council. <br /> <br />II. Procedure for Conductins Problem Identification <br /> <br />Many water resourCe and related projects and programs have been <br /> <br />planned, developed, and operated to keep pace with economic growth in <br /> <br />the Arkansas-White-Red Region. Much more remains to be accomplished <br /> <br />under sound conservation, environmental, and technical policies through <br /> <br />the team effort of local, State, and Federal entities. Water is not <br /> <br />available in sufficient quantities in particular areas in which it is <br /> <br />needed to sustain present development and to provide for future economic <br /> <br />growth. <br /> <br />These and many other problems cannot be wholly solved by <br /> <br />l. <br />
