Due to the increased emphasis upon comprehensive and coordinated planning, there is a need for a better and more complete understanding of the role of the State in the development and management of water and related land resources. This role depends largely on the laws and programs of the State. The purpose of this appendix is to identify laws and programs of the States of Mississippi and Alabama relating to the development of water and related land resources and to show the role of the states in the comprehensive study of the Pascagoula River Basin.

Contents: Municipal and Industrial Water Supply and Water Quality Control Study, Mississippi and Alabama; Recreation Aspects of the Pascagoula River Basin, Mississippi and Alabama; Fish and Wildlife Aspects of the Pascagoula River Basin, Mississippi and Alabama; Appraisal of Archeological and Historical Resources of the Pascagoula River Basin; Geology and Groundwater Resources of the Pascagoula River Basin; and Mineral Resources and Industry of the Pascagoula River Basin, Mississippi and Alabama.

This appendix, subtitled 'Some Health Aspects of Water and Related Land Use of the Pascagoula River Basin', discusses the following subjects: Water Contact Recreation; Shellfish Sanitation; Vector Control; and Drinking Water Supply.
