Show PART I INTRODUCTION intraregional water and related land resources use except for those in- terregional water uses established "by prior compacts and agreements. Guidelines General guidelines for framework studies were prepared "by the Water Resources Council and Pacific Southwest Inter-Agency Committee. For ex- ample, the following guidelines, all formulated in the early stages of this study, became prevailing considerations and were complied with dur- ing the course of the study. 1. All interregional diversions will be recognized and the expected transfers of water included as a loss to the transferring-out region and available for use in the transferring-in region. 2. The distribution of water between regions will be made in accord- ance with existing compacts and legal agreements. 3. Available water allocated under compacts, agreements, or laws but not presently in beneficial use by the allottee will be available for fu- ture beneficial use of the allottee (state or other organizational unit). This study will rely on appropriate state laws or policies for determina- tion of priorities of use among competing areas and uses. h. The ocean should be considered available and plans for its use as a water resource could be included. Availability to the Upper Colorado Region would be limited by exchange with other regions. 5. Consideration of water quality will provide sufficient latitude to permit future growth and full development of water use, provided the condition of the water does not reflect failure to apply corrective meas- ures which are physically and economically feasible. These water quality considerations shall not inhibit application in any way of existing inter- state compacts or court decrees or intrastate appropriation of water. 6. Importation of water from outside the Pacific Southwest will not be investigated except for presently authorized projects. 7. The relationships of wild and scenic rivers to land use, water- shed management, water development, and other functions will be consid- ered. 8. Maintenance of environmental quality will be given high priority in planning for the future. 9« Only general consideration will be given to cost-repayment capac- ity relationships for selection of a plan of water and land development. The plan will be based essentially upon the reasoned judgment of competent planners. |
