Department of Interior*! Wa ter Reeoorrea Research Office, through the Texas Water Re- oinreee InstHate at TAMU. Dr. Bari Cook, geoocioncee dean, heads the study. Other members of the multi-interest team are Dr. John E. Pearson, businees administration dean; Dr. Ruth Schaffer, sociologist; Dr. Robert Clark, hydrometeorologist, and Dr. Warren Truck, agricultural Dr. Jack R. Rankles. TWRI di rector, noted the study probably Is the first in the U.

Included in the research will be the history of the project, atti tudss of interest groups during the planning stages, and a com prshenrive evaluation of the res ervoir impact today in terms of rscrsatloa, flood control, munki pal-industrial water supply, pop ulation, irrigation, economic and Daaa Cook, a geographer with current interests in resource and environmental decision making, noted the federal government has shown a change in attitude and planning during the past few years as it relates to dams and reservoirs. He said today there is more concern for social science than water engineering, with so cial benefits and coats much hard er to formulise. ‘The objective,” the dean stressed, “is to see if there were defects in the planning processes, and if these defects still remain in the process of planning big dams.” Hs estimated Tsxas has over IS billion of federal money invest ed in reservoir projects. There have been some economic and in dustrial studies, he added, but none have looked at the whole reservoir picture—before and aft er construction. Canyon Beuervoir was selected because it is relatively new (com pleted in 1944). The researchers will be able to use photographs and data collected before the dam was constructed, they can talk di rectly with the people involved in the planning and derision process and it is an isolated reservoir big enough to have considerable im pact on the area. The Canyon project was built by the U. S. Army Corps of Engi neers, whose planning group in Dallas will cooperate in the TA MU study. A major problem, Dean Cook noted, win be separation of ef fects of the reservoir from what would have happened anyway in that area. One of the interesting aspects of the research will be Dr. Schaf fer’s attitude survey. She plans to look at approxi mately 20 large Texas reservoirs and study the attitudes of inter est groups during the planning stage, as well as after construc tion, to find out what changes in viewpoints have occurred as a result of the reservoir impacts. Dean Cook acknowledged H is a short-term study, but be hopes to gather information which will improve planning for similar proj- For example, many points are argued frequently during reser voir planning, points dealing with ecology, economics and benefit ra tios. Such arguments are with out reference to what actually happened in projects already buiH, ) he said. The study should make It pos sible to speed up the decision- making process to eliminate or accelerate many future reservoir projects, tbs dean stated.
