Abstract: The primary objectives of the study were to identify the problems of water and related land resources, determine the needs and potential for development, and prepare alternative development plans. The plan would facilitate orderly development of natural resources by providing for (1) sound development and use of flood plains depending upon the degree of flood control and water management attainable; (2) the development of potential recreation facilities to meet present and emerging demands; (3) the protection of water resources from sediment and agricultural pollution; (4) protection and maintenance of the soil resource base and (5) improvement of the environmental quality in respect to water, recreation, esthetic, and fish and wildlife values. A further objective was to strengthen community development by facilitating a combination of agricultural production and recreation development that would provide more jobs and higher personal incomes. It was the aim to promote economic growth and development consistent with overall national objectives.
