This report presents the consolidated results of the comprehensive study of the water and related land resources of the Pearl River Basin. The basic objective was the formulation of a plan of development to provide the best use, or combination of uses, of these resources to meet the foreseeable short- and long-term needs. Requirements are based on a projection of the basin economy to the years 1980 and 2015. The principal needs are for flood protection, water quality control, recreation, fish and wildlife enhancement and agricultural land and water management. The most practical means to provide for these and other needs of the basin is through a coordinated comprehensive plan of structural and nonstructural measures.
The Pearl River Comprehensive Basin Study is part of the national comprehensive river basin planning program that has developed from recommendations in the 1961 report of the Senate Select Committee on National Water Resources and subsequent action of the Executive Branch and the Congress. The basic objective of this program is to plan for the best use, or combination of uses, of the water and related land resources to meet all foreseeable short- and long-term needs. The study has been directed toward developing an understanding of the existing and future needs of the Pearl River Basin; providing a sound basis for, and recommendation of, an early-action program of measures that should be undertaken within the next 10 to 15 years; and establishing a framework for future planning for the basin. It has been conducted as a coordinated State-Federal interagency study. Studies, investigations and preparation of the Pearl River Comprehensive report were performed through joint efforts of participating agencies.
"The survey investigation described in this reconnaissance report addresses the water resources needs of the Pearl River Basin. The report addresses the preliminary stage (stage 1) of that investigation and presents a plan for conducting the remaining stages"--section 1.
