MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT : Joint US-USSR Proposals for Cooperation in
Science and Technology: Water Resources
Cooperative Area
1. We have reexamined the Joint US-USSR Proposals
for Cooperation in Science and Technology: Water Resources
Cooperative Area. Our overall opinion of the bilateral
agreement is the same as stated in November 1972.
We feel the agreement has been and will continue to be
beneficial to both countries and that no loss of US strategic
technology will occur.
2. We do not believe that any significant new knowledge
has been produced thus far. Most of the activity that
has taken place thus far has been the exchange of technical
information, bibliographic materials, and planning of future
exchanges of scientific delegations.
3. We have seen no intelligence reporting that indicated
a different Soviet attitude than that reflected in the official
reports of the Project Working Group. Virtually all of our
information on Soviet water resources comes from unclassified
Soviet periodicals, newspaper accounts, and radio broadcasts.
These sources indicate a strong desire on the part of the
Soviets to continue to cooperate and are optimistic on the
benefits to the USSR.
4. The Soviets are undertaking cooperative agreements
in the water resources area with countries in addition to
the US. Most notable are their agreements with Great Britain

and France. The USSR and Great Britain signed a five-year
agreement on cooperation in the field of environmental
protection on May 21, 1974. Areas included are the protection
of waters from pollution and comprehensive utilization
of water resources. The hydrological agreement with France
includes topics such as irrigation, hydrometeorology, and
the use of computers to forecast spring floods. Iran also
has agreed to expand cooperation with the Soviets beyond
the current joint project on the Araks river which borders
the two countries.
5. We believe the agreement will be beneficial to
the US even though the US is probably ahead of the Soviets
in the majority of the areas in the agreement. The US Working
Group on Planning, Utilization, and Management of Water
Resources, which visited the Soviet Union in May 1974,
was impressed with the magnitude of the Soviet water
resources development program. Areas where the US should
benefit the most appear to be cold weather construction,
the use of polymer films, explosives excavation, and
groundwater research. The Soviets have more experience
than the US in working with concrete that is pre-cast
rather than cast-in-place, but concrete work and quality
control is below that of the US. The US should benefit
from the extensive Soviet work in drainage especially
as it affects salinity of the soils. Another benefit
will accrue to the US if the Soviets increase purchases
of such items as irrigation equipment and arrange to
use US consultants to advise on water resource problems.
The only disadvantage to the US could lie in the field
of computer assistance in water resource management and
control if the Soviets then utilize the automated techniques
in more strategic areas.
6. Several additional areas exist that might make
the agreement of greater benefit to the US. In the area
of explosives excavation, a visit to the Amu-Bukhara
Canal or the Nurek dam site, both in Soviet Central Asia,
would be of value. Extensive Soviet work on salinity
problems has not been explored sufficiently at this point.
Attempts to learn more about Soviet drainage technology
are recommended.

7. Soviet benefits will come from the acquistion
of US hardware and technological capability. The Soviets
are seeking an automated total water resource program
similar to that in the US, including the use of computers
and mathematical models in the planning, design, and
implementation of the programs. The Soviets also hope
to gain information on large river basin diversion.

STATE OF PROGRESS IN THE 'USSR TO DATE ON TEE PROJECT;
METHODS AND MEANS OF AUTOMATION AND REMOTE CONTROL
OF IRRIGATION SYSTDIS'?
The investigation into the methods and means of automation and
remote control in the USSR has been conducted mainly within the
framework of the program "To Develop Methods and Technical Means
of Complex Automation of Water Diversion, Regulation, and Recording
for the Main Structures of Irrigation Systems, thus Increasing
the Productivity of Labor During Water Distribution and Application."
The project has been divided into five independent parts:
1. Develop the technological basis for complex automation of
Irrigation systems according to irrigation zones and types of
Irrigation systems.
2. -DevelOp and introduce methods and means of automating head-
("1/n

3. Develop methods and means of complex automation of inter-
farm open and closed irrigation networks and conduct tests on them
in irrigation systems in various zones of the country.
4. Develop methods and means of automating on-the-farm cpen

processes have been identified; the problems, degree, and stages
of.automation have been developed; and the features and the extent
