(4) determine the yield from stream systems under natural flow conditions and under varying degrees of storage and the amounts and quality of waters available from such systems during drought, flood, and intermediate conditions;
(5) determine whether sea water has moved inland into heavily pumped coastal aquifers;
(6) give special consideration to conditions which may invite the invasion of sea water into fresh-water supplies;
(7) compile and make available to appropriate State and local officials any results of this study and investigation that would be appropriate for their use in long-range planning, development, and management of water supplies;
