PREFACE 



This report is the final technical report submitted to the Office of Water 

 Resources Research, United States Department of the Interior, in fulfillment 

 of contract number 14-31-0001-3160, C-1713. The Agricultural Experiment 

 Station, Durham, New Hampshire, provided state matching and additional sup- 

 porting funds to this project. 



It should be recognized that this is a normative analysis which deals with 

 optimal situations and does not inventory the current resource use at the time 

 of the study. 



The authors express their appreciation to Wayne Eddy and Otis Perry for the 

 huge amount of work they put into literature review, data development, and 

 modeling while project assistants. The authors wish to thank Robert Shaw, 

 Superintendent of the Keene Public Works Department, and the personnel of 

 the New Hampshire Water Supply and Pollution Control Commission for pro- 

 viding helpful consultation and data from their files. To the many other technical, 

 administrative, and planning people consulted, the authors express their thanks. 

 The authors bear the responsibility for any errors in the report. 



The work upon which this publication is based was supported in 

 part by funds provided by the United States Department of the 

 Interior as authorized under the Water Resources Research Act 

 of 1964, as amended.
