<br />vii <br /> <br /> <br />c <br /> <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br />~1 <br /> <br />SYLlABUS <br /> <br />There are 14.7 million acres of agricultural, urban, and <br />wooded flood plain lands in the Arkansas, White, and Red River Basins <br />on which it is estimated that about $57.7 million (long-term pro- <br />jected prices) flood and sediment damages occur annually. In addi- <br />tion to the monetary damages there are many intangible losses not <br />susceptible to monetary evaluation. <br /> <br />The plan developed herein is devised to serve the present <br />need for control, prevention, and forecasting of floods as well as <br />the needs of the foreseeable future to about the year 2000. It is <br />estimated that with the plan in operation about $19.7 million of <br />annual damages will be prevented, representing a 34 percent <br />reduction. <br />
