<br />o <br /> <br />c'~) <br /> <br />I'V <br />-.: <br />~ <br />~ <br /> <br />PBEFACE <br /> <br />It is the purpose of this section to set forth available <br />information on individual water use and control projects or programs <br />included in the AWE Plan which serve one or more of 'the following <br />functions: flood control, navigstion, drainage, irrigation and re~ <br />clamstion, hydroelectric power, and domestic and industrial weter <br />supply. <br /> <br />The elements of the plan are, for the most part, propossls <br />of separate agencies which were formulated in accordance with agency <br />policies and procedues, and adjusted to varying degrees through <br />coordination by the AWRBIAC. <br /> <br />Prior to initiation of the AWE Survey, a large number of <br />water use and control projects had been planned, many of which had <br />been authorized by the Congress while others had been recommended <br />for development. Insofar as Inter-Agency planning is concerned, <br />authorized and recommended projects have been considered as projects <br />in being and have not been subjected to reanalysis and re-evaluation <br />by the AWBBIAC. However, certsin changes in these projects resul t- <br />ing from further study by the sponsoring agencies sre reflected in <br />this report including in some cases elimination of the projects from <br />the plan. <br /> <br />Many elements of the plan have received only preliminary <br />investigation while others have been studied in considerable detail. <br />The degree of detail of the investigat1~ns of each proposal is in- <br />dicated in the project evaluation statements included in this section <br />of the AWE Report. Alternative solutions to specific problems are <br />identified although it should be recognized that not all alternatives <br />have been investigated. The tentative nature of many of the proposals <br />is such as to warrant consideration at some future time of other <br />solutions which mey become apparent under changed conditions. <br /> <br />Where particulsr elements appeared to constitute the most <br />promising solutions to certain existing or prospective problems they <br />hsve been included in the plan even though they are not economicslly <br />feasible under present conditions. Some of these may become feasible <br />in the fUture, while others may never warrant development. <br /> <br />Considerable effort wes made to obtain coordination <br />between projects and programs. Except where alternatives are desig- <br />nated, the projects have been fitted together economically and <br /> <br />11i <br />
