Lower Mississippi Region Comprehensive Study. Appendix B. Economics.
Abstract
The work reported herein was conducted to establish economic forecasts from which future requirements for water and water-related land resources can be predicted in each of ten river basin areas, termed Water Resource Planning Areas (WRPA's). Such requirements, based on the economic outlook for the ten areas, provide the basis for the formulation of framework plans for the management, use, and development of the water resources of the entire Lower Mississippi Region. Economic projections have been made for two programs, designated A, National Income, and B, Regional Development. Program A is based on forecasts made by the Water Resources Council for all sections of the United States, and Program B presents the future economy of the Lower Mississippi Region projected under an assumption that he region will grow economically at the same rate that the Water Resources Council projects for the Nation.
