Abstract

The purpose of this report is to present a comprehensive plan of development that will provide for the best use or the combination of uses of water and land resources to meet the short and long-term needs of the basin. Specific objectives of the study made for this report were: (a) To determine the future direction and magnitude of the basin's economy at selected points of time; (b) To identify the demands for water and land-related products and services required to sustain the projected economy and maintain the area's socio-environmental well-being; (c) To develop possible solutions to meet these needs; (d) To formulate the projects and programs required to satisfy the immediate and long-range needs; and (e) To select the optimum plan of development based on engineering feasibility, economic justification, and social considerations.
