Primary emphasis i s placed upon examination of the
water resources , both surface and ground, that exist
in the vicinity o f the KGRAs located i n the sout h -
we stern states of California , Arizona , Utah , Nevada,
and New Mexico. In most o f these regions water has
been in short supply for many years and consequently a
discussion of competing demands is included to pro-
vide an appropriate perspective on overall usage. A
discussion o f the water resources in the vicinity of
KGRAs in the States of Montana, Idaho , Oregon, and
