Some of the facilities and installations developed and managed are single-purpose in nature, expressly designed for bettering particular fish and wildlife environments. Many more are related to other purposes wherein fish and wildlife habitats are important but essentially by-products of projects built for such other purposes. In the first category are fishing lakes developed with state fish and game funds primarily for fishing. In the second are Federal wildlife refuges which were made possible by reservoirs impounded for the primary purposes of providing municipal and irrigation water, generating hydroelectric power, regulating river regimens, and controlling floods. Additional examples could be given. Augmenting the efforts at developing and improving habitat for fish and wildlife are such facilities as Federal and state fish hatcheries and state game farms. The output of such installations serves the propagative needs for stocking and replenishing developed areas for fish and wildlife. To date, these complementary Federal-state programs have not kept pace in supplying the wants of the public they serve. Additional water and lands are needed, as indicated in succeeding pages. The location of these existing installations is shown on the map at the end of this report. 6Epson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 8 bit, 14,049,280 byte
