U.S.-U.S.S.R. COORDINATORS MEETING ON
PROJECT 111.2, "METHODS AND MEANS OF AUTOMATION
AND REMOTE CONTROL IN WATER RESOURCE SYSTEMS"
Washington, D. C., USA
June 28, 1974
In accoruance with the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Agreement on Cooperation in the
Fields of Science and Technology, signed May 24, 1972, and the
Results of Discussions of the first meeting of the U.S.-U.S.S.R.
Joint Working Group on Scientific and Technical Cooperation in the
Field of Water Resources signed September 30, 1972, the meeting of-
U.S.-U.S.S.R. Coordinators was held in Denver, Colorado, on
June 26-27, 1974, on Project 111.2, "Methods and Means of Automation
and Remote Control in Water Resource Systems."
Project coordinators who headed the U.S.-U.S.S.R. parties:
The U.S.S.R. Party:

3. Preliminary itinerary for the visit of U.S. Group to the
U.S.S.R. in September 1974
1. As a result of exchange of opinions and information on the
activities executed in each country in the field of automation
of water resource systems, the two Parties have discussed forms
and topics of cooperation and are considering as a. basis the
proposals by the U.S.S.R. side for a Joint Program of Works
to be executed on the project (Appendix No. 2) during the
period of cooperation, as well as a Detailed Program of Works
to be carried out during the first stage of cooperation (Appendix
No. 3). These programs may be subject to change or supplement
.after tree visit of the U.S. side to the U.S.S.R.
2. The Parties have agreed upon the necessity of mutual preliminary
coordination, in more suitable forms for every particular case,
of stage priority of works to be executed according to Scientific
and Technical Cooperation Program.
3. The preliminary itinerary for the visit of the U.S. Group to the
U.S.S.R. in September 1974 has been discussed and agreed upon
(Appendix No. 4). It will be corrected and specified as well as
sent to the U.S. Party 1 month prior to the Group's departure
for the U.S.S.R.
4. The U.S.S.R. Group has been acquainted with the work of some of
the water economy organizations and firms, as well as of some
technical solutions at a number of big projects and visited the
following organizations and project sites:
Nebraska automated gated-pipe irrigation system
near Grand Island
Central Nebraska Public'Power and Irrigation District
automated canal and supervisory control center
University of Nebraska North Platte Experimental
Station
Federal and state water resource features in Central
Valley Basin, California

5. It is believed by the Coordinators that financing of all
activities associated with the Joint Works provided by the
program be realized in accordance with the decisions adopted
by the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Joint Commission on Scientific and
Technical Cooperation.
6. The Project Coordinators and the participants-of this joint
meeting state with satisfaction that the talks were fruitful
and held in the atmosphere of friendship and mutual understanding
and originated the beginning of personal contacts that will
contribute to further development and extension of cooperation
in the field of automation and remote. control in water resource
systems.
The present Memorandum was signed on June 28, 1974, in two copies,

PROGRAM OF WORKS
To be executed during the first stage of
cooperation on Project 111.2, "Methods and
Means of Auta+na Lion and Remote Control in
Water Resource Systems"
Analysis and selection of experimental~rojects for mutual research,
development and establishment of technical requirements for the
automation means.
The Coordinators agreed that it would be expedient to create
experimental irrigation systems in both countries.
The final objective for the creation of experimental projects for
mutual research is to select and develop, as well as to test
experimentally, a complex of technical and program means aimed at
providing Optimum control of technological processes in automatic
irrigation systems of different types. This work should include
the development of recommendations on design and operation of
similar systems.
Taking into account various natural and design features, the
projects must be typical from a technological point of view and
located in a more typical and perspective area of farming under
irrigation as well as include all the main technological processes.
For the ur pose of implementation of works associated with the
creation of erimentap9jeCts, both-sides agreed with the
following:
During the period of July-August 1974, the U.S.S.R. Party
is to prepare the necessary technological and technical
documentation on the selected project and to supply all
the data to the U.S. Party as well as to elaborate on
preliminary requirements on technological process in
.automatic control systems (T.P.A.C.S.). The U.S.S.R.
Party will present the possibility for the U.S. Party
to get acquainted with these projects in the field.
During the period of July-August 1974, the U.S. Party will
prepare a list of organizations involved with production
of water systems automation equipment.

The Coordinators agreed that the detailed program for the second
stage (1976) would be developed during the September 1974 meeting
in the U.S.S.R.
During the implementation of the second stage, it is expedient to
arrange two meetings of the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Groups in 1975: the
first one in September, USA to discuss and confirm the project of
technical requirements on collecting, transmitting, and processing
information, means and technological process control, as well as
handing over the catalogs of the technical check and control means;
the second one in October, U.S.S.R. to discuss and confirm the
technical assignment to design the automatic reclamation systems.
Each Group should consist of four or five persons sent for a
period of 14 days.
