Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The Connecticut River Region is an area of about 2,000 square miles which is the Connecticut River drainage within Massachusetts. The major streams are the Chicopee, Deerfield, Farmington, Millers and Westfield Rivers. The region includes 94 cities and towns within five counties. This report was prepared by the Soil Conservation Service; Economics, Statistics, and Cooperatives Service; and Forest Service for use by the Massachusetts Water Resources Commission in the preparation of a comprehensive plan for the Commonwealth's water and land resources. The information and data will also assist local, state, and federal agencies in their specific planning activities for the coordinated and orderly conservation, development, utilization, and management of the water and land resources of Massachusetts. The objectives of this report are to identify problems, needs, and alternative solutions in the following major resource areas: land use, flooding, erosion, sediment, and wetlands.
