Book excerpt: In the course of the Genesee River Basin Coordinating Committee Study, certain alternatives for multipurpose water resources development in the Basin were considered. For example, the Portage Project illustrated that, under the Federal ground rules for water resources project analysis, a particularly good physical site could be developed for: hydroelectric power, recreation and flow augmentation for water quality management. The development of upstream Genesee River Basin reservoirs for municipal and industrial water supply was not investigated in the previous volumes for reasons stated therein. The State of New York felt additional useful information would be gained by further analysis of municipal and industrial water supply, irrigation and hydro-electric power potentials. Therefore, to provide this additional information, the State of New York retained the service of consultants. Also, other possible sources of water supply, such as ground water and Lake Ontario, were analyzed in depth in this effort.
