Abstract
present use is only about five percent of annual precipitation,' there is little question of absolute shortage. However, given the limited number of natural storage facilities, the economics of water resource development will become increasingly significant in this period. Prices for alternative uses--domestic, agricultural, and industrial-will come under closer scrutiny. The comparative costs of alternative sources of supply and methods of conservation, such as conversion of sea water, sewage reclamation, and control of evaporation, transpiration, and natural run-off, will be reexamined with greater care.
