Extract

Prior to the last decade, federal water-project construction programs dominated water policy. These programs continue, but at a reduced level of funding, and the nation now is denning a new agenda of water resources issues to include water quality management and water allocation. Economists engaged in studies of water resources policy, and who seek to influence the direction of policy through research, teaching, and extension will find these exciting times.
