Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Red River Basin Above Denison Dam extends from Denison Dam on the Oklahoma-Texas boundary westward into Curry and Quay Counties, New Mexico. Some 39,719 square miles (25,420,160 acres) lie within its bounds. The great majority of this area (38,828 square miles) lies in Texas and Oklahoma while only a small fraction (891 square miles) lies in New Mexico. The uses to which the resources of a basin are put determine the character of its economy. Depending upon resource availability and locational factors, a basin may be expected to specialize in some types of productive activities and to de-emphasize others. The analysis of past and current economic activity in a basin should ascertain those industries in which the basin has tended to specialize as well as those which it has tended to neglect. Such an analysis will serve to identify the uses to which the basin's resources have been put. The second major objective of this report is the development of a set of projections of the future course of the basin economy. As the most outstanding characteristic of the future is its uncertainty, the projections made herein are based upon assumed values of the parameters relevant to them. Where appropriate, alternative projections are developed based upon varying parameter values. The final objective of this report is to develop an assessment of the impact of programs of resource management and development on the economy of the basin.
