Abstract
In general, all the information required for management of state water supply programs is contained in the Model State Information System (MSIS) files, and MSIS does produce the required Federal reports. The MSIS compliance determination procedure is operational in the hands of experienced users, although many users indicate a need for more efficient data entry and preediting procedures. Through the use of the recently released Data Retrieval Subsystem, users are able to tailor reports from the MSIS files to their individual needs. The objective of this report is to identify the information needs of water supply managers in meeting their responsibilities.
