Abstract: Under a liberalized interpretation of the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Type IV River Basin Program a study was made to provide input data to the Pennsylvania State Water Plan. Only specified inputs were requested of the Economic Research Service. They included: brief historical settings for each of twenty subregions; an evaluation of State population and employment projections in addition to providing rural breakdowns of each; an assessment of State estimates of livestock numbers, irrigated acres, and associated water use; and estimates of current and projected major land use. To accomplish the above, OBERS projections of agricultural activity at the State level were disaggregated to the subregion level. The report documents the methodology used in accomplishing the entire work effort and presents relevant results, but draws no conclusions.
