Pawcatuck and Woonasquatucket River Basins and Narragansett Bay Local Drainage Area. Appendixes.

Abstract

This report presents the results of a study of water resource problems in the Woonasquatucket River Basin, Pawcatuck River Basin and Narragansett Bay Local Drainage Area. These areas are included in 3 of the 5 portions of other major elements of the Pawcatuck River and Narragansett Bay Drainage Basins (PNB) Study. A map showing the relationship of these three segments to the entire PNB Study area is shown on Plate 1-1. All appropriate alternative plans to solve the areas water resource problems were considered, and several protection schemes were studied in detail. Selection of the most feasible plan was made after considering all factors including those comments expressed by concerned Federal and State agencies and local interests. This study was made in the depth and detail necessary to permit plan selection and determine its economic, social and environmental feasibility.
