Development Of Water Resources In Appalachia Appendix E Volume 20 Economic Base Study

This Appendix is designed to provide a summary of economic and demographic data to be used in the analysis of the Appalachian economy, and to provide a setting for the preparation of a comprehensive water resources development plan. Information contained in this Appendix includes projections to 1980, 2000 and 2020 for population, employment by industry group, per capita income, and gross output per employee. This information is presented for the United States and the Appalachian Region. For the Appalachian Region, this information is grouped by 27 economic sub-regions, 28 water areas and 59 state planning sub-regions. (Author).

This document provides figures on the amount of available ground water and the costs of developing ground-water supplies for broad planning purposes. It is divided into three parts. Part I describes, in general terms, the relative availability and occurrence of ground water and the relative cost and optimum development of ground-water supplies for the Region as a whole. Part II is a summary, by Water Sub-Region, of the generalized information in Part I. Part III presents ground-water information at specific sites which have been selected for study by the Corps of Engineers because of obvious needs for local water supplies to stimulate local economic growth.
