<br />o <br /> <br />C..' <br /> <br />~ <br />~ <br />(") <br />..;;,. <br /> <br />PREFACE <br /> <br />It is the objective of this section of the report to evaluate <br />the irrigation potentialities of the Arkansas, White and Red River Basins. <br /> <br />Early in the course of the Arkansas-White-Red Basins Survey, <br />the AWRBIAC established the work group on Irrigation and Reclamation <br />whioh has been responsible for the ooordination and preparation of the <br />material in this seotion. The Bureau of Reclamation served as the ohair- <br />man agency of the work group. All of the partioipating Federal agencies <br />exoept the Departments of Commerce and Labor and all of the States took <br />part in the activities of the work group. <br /> <br />The Inventory of Existing Irrigation Development " and Poten- <br />tially Irrigable Lands was prepared by State groups oomposed of <br />representatives of interested State agenoies, the Department of Agri- <br />oulture, the Corps of Engineers, and the Department of the Interior. <br />The engineering data on project type development for the five western <br />states of the three basins has been provided largely by the Bureau of <br />Reclamation. For Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri, the engineering <br />data on projeot type development was prepared cooperatively by the <br />Bureau of Reclamation and the Corps of Engineers. The appraisal of <br />non-projeot type of irrigation potentialities "has been provided largely <br />through the joint efforts of the Department of Agrioulture and the <br />Bureau of Reclamation. The technical services programs set forth in <br />the report were developed by the Department of Agriculture. <br /> <br />i <br />
