These categories are: <br /> <br />o Comprehensive Planning and Support Activities <br />o Flooding <br />o Fish and Wildlife <br />o Irrigation <br />o Land Conservation and Management <br />o Municipal, Industrial, and Rural DOmestic Water Supply <br />o Natural, Historic, and Cultural Resources and <br />Water-Associated Outdoor Recreation <br />o Power and Energy <br />o Transportation <br />o Water Quality <br />o Legal and Institutional Factors <br />o Instream Flows <br />o Weather Modification <br /> <br />Comprehensive Planninq and Support Activities <br /> <br />Several Federal studies or assistance programs will improve <br />decisionmaking and lead to the development of improved programs <br />for the management of the Basin's water and related land <br />resources. Therefore, over the long term, they will indirectly <br />improve the productivity, conservation, or utilization of forest, <br />range, soil, and wildlife resources, and increase the efficient <br />use and conservation of scarce water supplies. In addition, the <br />Federal dam inspection program will enable water resource <br />managers to develop actions and programs which, when implemented, <br />will reduce potential hazards to the human environment in flood <br />plains throughout the Basin. <br /> <br />Floodinq <br /> <br />Collectively, the recommended implementation programs will <br />have a beneficial effect on the human environment because they <br />will: (1) reduce the frequency, intensity, or extent of flooding <br />
