<br />on035~ <br /> <br />THE FRAMEWORK STUDY <br /> <br />The Framework Study is the central feature of Nebraska's State <br />Water Plan. Results of the study are presented in a main report and <br />four appendices. The appendices generally present summations of basic <br />data and miscellaneous supporting material for the main report. <br /> <br />Appendix A, "Land Inventory," is an inventory of the land resources <br />of the State. Three major topics (1) existing land use, (2) land <br />ownership, and (3) land capabi lity are discussed. This appendix was <br />printed in preliminary form in June, 1969. <br /> <br />A summary of the ground and surface water resources of the State <br />is i nc I uded in Append i x B, "I nventory of l'later Resources." That vo I ut'\e <br />deals with the location, quantity, qual ity, avai labi lity, and present <br />use of the state's ground and surface water. I n add it ion, Append i x B <br />summarizes those climatic factors related to water resource development. <br />Appendix B was printed in preliminary form in December, 1969 and published <br />in June, 1971. <br /> <br />Th is Appendi xC, "Land and Water Resources Prob I ems and tjeeds," is <br />an inventory of the present and anticipated future water requirements <br />and water related problems of the State. The primary objectives of <br />this Appendix are to: <br /> <br />1. Summarize existing water related problems and needs <br />with regard to the quantity, qual ity, and management <br />of resources, <br /> <br />2. Summarize existing water use and anticipated future <br />requirements up to 2020 for domestic, municipal, indus- <br />trial, and agricultural uses, and <br /> <br />3. Summarize anticipated future water related problems and <br />needs such as drainage, recreation, power, fish and <br />wi Idllfe, flood control, watershed protection, and <br />navigation. . <br /> <br />Appendix C was printed in prel iminary form in September, 1970. <br /> <br />Appendix D, "Survey of Nebraska Water Law," is a summary of federal <br />and state laws, compacts and court decrees which are important to water <br />resource development in the State. It was printed in preliminary form <br />in June, 1970 and publ ished in June, 1971. <br /> <br />The main report on the Framework Study is based on information <br />presented in the appendices and the sources given in them. It presents <br />a generalized statewide reconnaissance of Nebraska's water and related <br />land resources, problems and needs, and a general framework for devel- <br />opment. It does not provide detailed evaluations or time schedules <br />for specific projects but a flexible guide into which properly designed <br />projects can be fitted. The report also presents recommendations for <br />action necessary for proper development of Nebraska's water resources. <br />The report was pub I i shed in \oIay. 1971. <br /> <br />v <br />
