Conclusions<br />
The Questions Revisited<br />
• Economic development and diversification<br />
constrained by municipal and industrial<br />
water supply limitations<br />
• Lack of comprehensive water resource<br />
availability in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
• <strong>Coastal</strong> communities hard pressed to<br />
prepared WMCPs due to lack of readily<br />
available in<strong>for</strong>mation
