Show < 2. system with articles on - * - the lower Colorado River salinity problem - issues of irrigation of the southwest: soils, salinity, need, conservation - consequences of the series of high river dams on river regimes - alternative water management options in the developing west - specific rivers which are relatively unknown outside the region; Uinta Streams, the Yampa, the Green in Brown's Park, the San Juan. (What is scheduled for San Juan River water?) - warm water rivers as a resource system for birds and smaller wildlife as well as for endemic fish: what diminished stream flows do! - the arid biome of the southwest and the function of the rivers there - the irrelevancy of western water law to today's water needs : n*"> -*•» - concerns of CAP - of CRCUP - of Californians - of Colorado conservationists Articles could be written by specialists on all these above issues - in environmental organizations, in Agencies, in Universities. I have already sent a copy of my White River Dam document to several specialists in these warm water river regimes in western states, some associated with the Wildlife Society and State Chapters. Then, of course, we could use this organization and its publications to propose alternatives for water management in the Colorado River. But - what are these? - what are answers for western development and water use? - what changes In climate are created by large reservoir bodies of water in dry land? Are these desireable? At what price? - how is the west going to cut the water pie - and at what cost to natural resources? C+iA. U'ldlifc, /nff-t^*^ ///w^,^-*^-. *f I do not see this Coalition effort competing with ARCC or with other environmental group efforts to save Wild and Scenic Rivers. I don't even see it competing with the groups concentrating on scenic/recreation aspects of public lands and waters. I see this Coalition approach hitting a different level of concern... not technically deep... but technically significant. PLEASE DEAL WITH THIS PROPOSAL ON TWO LEVELS: (1) THE IDEA ITSELF (2) THE FEASIBILITY OF FUNDING then - fire away with suggestions. My ideas are blossoming and may be getting out of hand. /XnjJtiL * I know a competent environmental writer/editor in Utah who is frustrated and could be interested in this organization. <o^LU- -fit /+J1 |
