Abstract: Excerpts from the report Summary: This report is a summary of a USDA study of the San Joaquin Valley Basin. The study identified resource-associated problems and developed alternative plans and a “preferred plan” for solving those problems. Public input and economic projections were used to help identify needs and formulate plans. The study emphasizes USDA programs. No attempt was made to formulate a master plan for the entire Basin; therefore, problems or issues outside USDA purview or those that can be solved by current programs were not addressed. This study was conducted in accordance with the U. S. Water Resources Council’s “Principles and Standards for Planning Water and Related Land Resources.” Using these guidelines, problems were classified as part of an environmental quality objective or a national economic development objective.
