MISSOURI

The State of Miasouri does not neceasarily agree or disagree
with all conclusions because of the limited State data available.
As State water planning work progresses, refined data and projec-
tions will be available and the State of Missouri can better
evaluate the results of the National Water Assessment.

Springfield and Joplin areas are recognized to have major water
resource problems which'need further attention.

It is recommended that all future basin planning activities of
this type present data on a State-by-State basis to make the basin
projections and conclusions more useable to individual States.

NEW MEXICO

The Modified Central Case (MCC) data provided by WRC were com-
piled for aggregated subareas which in most cases ignored state
boundaries and hydrologic areas within states. Comparison of SRF
and MCC data in New Mexico could not be made, thus, differences could
not be identified. For the most part, MCC data hsve no useful appli-
cation in New Mexico in providing economic, water and related land
resource statistical information.

Existing laws, regulations, and compacts thst relate to water
use within states or between states appear to be ignored. Stste laws
and interstate compacts affect present and future use of water supplies
and both are important in determining availability of these supplies
for various uses.

The State of New Mexico recommands future studies include state
data and consider legal constraint which effect the use of water
supplies.

During Activity 3, Phase II, two Group A problems in the AWR
Region in New Mexico were defined. Problem No. 1 noted several
problem issues and effects which sre common throughout the area and
Problem No. 2 is concerned with dwindling groundwater supplies in
areas where pumping exceeds recharge snd wster levels sre being lower~d~

Problem No.1. Common problems throughout the area are limited
surfac-e~wa~er-Bupplies; flooding in urban and rural areas, erosion of
the landscape; siltation and sedimentation in stream channels and
reservoir areas.
