Abstract

Excerpts from the report: A study of the economy of the Colorado River Basin was initiated by U.S. Public Health Service in recognition of a need for an overall analysis of basic industries and relationships and the related projections of economic activity as a framework within which water quality decisions could be made. The input-output interindustry technique was selected because of its comprehensive consideration of economic activity and relationships and because of its manipulative features in considering impacts of alternative resource development and adjustment situations. In order to facilitate a more adequate analysis, including the need for location of economic activity and adjustments, a small area approach was utilized. Thus, the Colorado River Basin was divided into six subbasins--three Upper Basin [Green, Upper Main Stem, San Juan] and three Lower Basin [Little Colorado, Lower Main Stem, Gila]. Separate analyses, models, and projections were developed for each subbasin. Water quantity and quality and other constraints and opportunities were considered for each subbasin.
