Elements of the Water Resources Situation in Alabama
The water-resources situation in Alabama has many facets ranging from water supply to waste disposal, from floods to droughts, and from navigation to recreation. Within this wide range of topics two common elements have been selected for consideration in this administrative report--all are intimately related to the hydrologic cycle, and all involve significant areas wherein the knowledge and data are inadequate. Accordingly there is first presented a discussion of the hydrologic cycle to provide a background of understanding. This is followed by a discussion of the types of data and studies that are required for a better understanding of the many problems that face those who seek finite answers in one or more of the facets of Alabama's water-resources situation with recommendations for needed supplemental or additional studies.
