Show PART VIII RECOMMENDATIONS Introduction Adoption of the framework plan and alternatives as a means for meet- ing future needs is recommended for general use as being indicative of the magnitude and type of future development. While there are some dif- ferences in the type of water uses for the alternatives, these have been identified. Major differences, particularly in the higher water use al- ternatives, reflect the extent to which the mineral resources will be developed, the need for more agricultural production, and the need for greater water exportation to adjacent regions. Development of these lat- ter alternatives requires augmentation of the Upper Colorado Basin water supply. While more study will be needed prior to making some of these long-range decisions, there are many recommendations which are basic to the needs of the region and have been outlined below. General Recommendations 1. The authorized Federal water resource development programs should be funded and constructed in order to help meet the production of required goods and services as the initial steps in the implementation of the frame- work program. Annual funding should be increased from the actual level of $*4-7.6 million in 1969 to approximately $73 million for the period to 1980. Non-Federal funding should be approximately doubled for the same period. 2. Planning options in resource development should be considered to the fullest extent in order to protect and enhance the environment, par- ticularly if opportunities are available outside the region to meet needs. 3. An effective water quality improvement program for the entire Colorado River Basin should be implemented immediately with high priority. This program should seek solutions to present water quality problems and should include measures to alleviate the effects of additional development to the extent practicable. k. The high quality recreation, fish, wildlife, and open space values of the Upper Colorado Region should be recognized as national assets that should be preserved and given special recognition in land- and water-use planning. 5. An extensive land use and capacity analysis should be made to insure the best use of all resources. 107 |
