Abstract

Scope of Study: An overall picture of the Arkansas, White and Red River Basin development with particular reference to hydro power, water pollution control, agriculture, fish and wildlife, and recreation is presented. This gives a general idea of all the pertinent investigations and factors to be considered for any multi-purpose river basin development scheme.

Findings and Conclusions: The plans and programs presented in this report are only tentative and will be subject to continued modification and refinement as more data become available and as changed economic conditions, technological improvements and other considerations may dictate. This report would be utilized by state and local agencies as a general framework within which the state and local agencies and state legislatures can decide what specific projects and programs should be initiated at a given time.
