Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The 9,299 square mile basin encompasses all or portions of 31 west-central Kentucky counties and 3 in north-central Tennessee. The predominantly rural basin is composed of 94 percent agricultural and forest land and 6 percent urban and water areas. It has a diversified economy, with manufacturing, agricultural, retail, and construction activities providing about 60 percent of the total employment. Population totaled about 670,000 in 1970 and is about equally divided between rural and urban. The study objective is to provide for orderly conservation, utilization, and management of the basin's water and land related resources. This objective contributes to the State’s long-range goals of: 1. Promoting efficient planning, development, and use of natural resources. 2. Providing planning standards to minimize land use conflicts. 3. Encouraging the use of resources in accordance with their inherent capability; and 4. Expanding resource uses, particularly for recreational purposes.
