WATER-SYSTEMS OPERATIONS

Water systems in the Arkansas River basin described here are those with
complex operations, such as transmountain diversions, systems involving con-
siderable storage, or systems requiring exchanges to operate. These systems
generally can be divided'into four categories: municipal systems, irrigation
systems, industrial systems, and multipurpose systems. A schematic diagram
accompanies each of the following system descriptions. The general location
of each of these schematic diagrams is outlined on plate 1 in the pocket.
Plate 1 also shows many of the drainages and land features that are referenced .
throughout the text.
