Title	Social Effects of Changes in Uses of Bear Lake : an Interstate Body of Water
Description	This study will examine the problem of compatibility of competing and conflicting uses of water resources and the social effects of changing uses of water held in a reservoir lake and its related land area. The area selected for this study is Bear Lake, an interstate body of water which is undergoing the early stages of increased recreational development and possible conflicts of use with traditional agricultural uses of the lake. This lake is a large body of fresh water located in the heart of the Bear River Basin, which includes parts of Northern Utah, Southern Idaho and Southwestern Wyoming. The lake itself lies across the border of Utah and Idaho and has a surface area of over 100 square miles of high quality water. Its location between Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park on the north and the major Utah metropolitan areas of Salt Lake City, Ogden and Provo to the south places it on one of the major tourist routes of the western states. How can water resources best contribute to the social and economic well-being of American society at a time of increasing conflicts of interest? With growing population and urbanization, increasing recreational and energy needs, as well as continuing regional shortages for agriculture, hydro-electric power and municipal and industrial uses--no easy solutions are available at the present time. Consequently, this is a question of central concern for future water resources planning and development. Within this general area of concern is the interacting effect of shifting water use with institutional structures and policies. This study can provide further practical, as well as theoretical, insights into the high-priority problem of water resource planning and management as it relates to changing patterns of multiple water uses in an urbanizing rural area with a plurality of political jurisdictions. The objectives that have guided this exploratory work are: 1. To analyze and synthesize past work on water resource development conflict and pertinent, related work to establish a conceptual approach to conflict-of-use problems. 2. To describe the competing and conflicting elements in water resource use and their effect upon Bear Lake development. 3. To describe and analyze institutional constraints and conflict problems related to inter-agency jurisdictions, including both public agencies and private interest groups, as they relate to shifts or conflicts of water use between irrigation, hydroelectric power and recreation. 4. To recommend alternative policies and organizational arrangements for resolving the conflict-of-use problem.
