Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The Red River Basin Above Denison Dam extends from eastern New Mexico across the Texas Panhandle and southwestern Oklahoma to Denison Dam on the Oklahoma-Texas boundary. It embraces an area of 25,393,890 acres. The area of the Red River Basin Above Denison Dam is distributed in the three states as follows: Texas 14,225,400 acres, Oklahoma 10,743,890 acres, and New Mexico 424,600 acres. A small portion of the basin boundary extends into New Mexico. Program opportunities for the portion of the basin which lies in New Mexico have not been included. Problems associated with flooding, sediment, irrigation, and the component needs of the basin were studied separately in Texas and Oklahoma. The objective of this study was to facilitate and coordinate the orderly conservation, development, utilization, and management of water and land resources. The patterns of water and land use to meet needs for 2000 and 2020 are described. Also specific watershed projects necessary to meet local and national social and economic needs are proposed. The consequences of alternative patterns and schedules of development were evaluated.
