<br />o <br />'7J <br />N <br />w::. <br />00 <br />w <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />Please note that,representatives of the eight states of the <br />AWR Region have made the basic SRF estimates from State Data, but <br />they only tabulated comparable MCC data as shown on tables and <br />computer printouts supplied through the Water Resources Council. <br /> <br />The results are shown on the following tabulation. Out of 306 <br />comparisons, only one-third were within 10 percent of each other, <br />and two-thirds exceeded 10 percent. What is most alarming is that <br />125 (4l%) of the comparisons from Figures I through 4 had differences <br />exceeding 50 percent for base year (l975). A cursory inspection <br />indicates that significant differences occur in all ASA's. <br /> <br />Logical conclusions of determining "the adequacy of supplies <br />of water necessary to meet the water requirements in each water <br />resource region in the United States and the national interest <br />therein" can be made without resorting to hundreds of pages of <br />statistical data. The States and Federal agencies have made <br />necessary estimates from time to time where the situation is <br />critical. It is more important to bring these estimates up-to-date, <br />taking into account changes in laws and requirements that formerly <br />did not exist. However, an Assessment backed up by good solid <br />water supply and economic data can be attained only by teamwork of <br />State and Federal entities working together from the start on <br />basic criteria and assumptions and then by checking and agreeing <br />on the base data. <br /> <br />25 <br />
