DEMANDS FOR LAND AND WATER OTHER THAN FOOD, FIBER AND SHELTER-
Some of the predictions for use of land for non-agricultural uses are for the year
2000: Land for recreation-up 300 per cent over today’s level. Land for homes, school,
factories-up 215 per cent. Land for transportation-up 125 per cent. Land for Wildlife
Refuges-up, 133 per cent. Land for reservoirs-up 180 per cent. Shown is the dedication
of Lake Somerville May .17, 1968, a demand for land for recreation and reservoirs '
