<br />.:;{c' <br /> <br />7. 111e scope and tasks tmdertaken by this report (as extracted from the <br />rough draft report) are: . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Scope and TasKs <br /> <br />Our report is confined roughly to the westem half of the continental <br /> <br />o <br />-.J U. S., while ORNL has conducted a similar analysis for the eastern haJ f of <br /> <br />W <br />f\) the country. The Water Resources Council regions with ,dlich we aTe con- <br /> <br />cerned arc as follows: Souris-Red-Rainy, ~Iissouri Basin, ArKansas-I';hite-llcd, <br /> <br />Texas Gulf, Rio Grande, Upper and LO\;er Colorado, Great Basin, Pacific <br /> <br />North"est, and California (see Fig. 3). LIlL is doing the analysis in <br /> <br />California under s"hcontract to LASL. <br /> <br />Recognizing that the focus of this study arc the "ateT Tesource impli- <br /> <br />cations inherent in the scenarios noted above, the principal tasKS ,,'hieh <br /> <br />this report addresses arc: <br /> <br />(1) the disaggregation of ERLJA and FEA energ)' suppl)' and demand pro- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ject'ions to WRC regions and selected aggregated suhareas (ASAs); <br /> <br /> <br />(2) ..; an identificati"on of unit energ); process technology "ater <br /> <br />requirements; <br /> <br />(3) the projection of the total water requirements associated ,dth <br /> <br />the ERDA and FEA energy proj ections by WRC regions and scl ected ASAs; <br /> <br />(4) an identification of implications associated "ith these levels <br /> <br />of water conunitments: depletion, water qualit)', impact on other <br /> <br />water use sectors, socia-economic and institutional conf] iets. <br /> <br />Wi th regard to the las t tasK enul'lerated we aTe i nc lud.i ng .i n Chapt er f.. <br /> <br />tightl)' analyzed case studies of one Council region "ith potentially acute <br /> <br />energy related "ateI' problems, the Upper Colorado River Basin. lIere such an <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-H- <br />
