Abstract |
The objectives of the study were to assess the probable effects of project construction and operation on water quality in local streams and reservoirs, to ascertain the benefits or harm resulting from changes in water quality, and to examine the need for regulation of streamflow for the purpose of water quality control in the principal streams affected. Need for regulation of streamflow was studied not only in light of present conditions, but also under anticipated economic development of the years 1985, 2010, and 2060. The report also includes the results of a study of general public health aspects and insect vector control of the project. A preliminary evaluation is presented of the insect vector problems that may be associated with the development of the Jefferson and Whitehall Irrigation Units. (Author) |
