Synopsis

This book presents the testimony of professionals from government agencies, the military, academia, and the private sector for a Senate hearing on the Water Resources Development Act. The hearing was convened to discuss budget proposals and policy changes for water resource management, flood plain management, and the operation of the Washington Aqueduct. Discussions center around the costs and benefits of the federal government's involvement in local water resource development projects. Concerns are expressed about the inadequacy of current policies to respond to the human and financial costs of flooding. The book captures the push-and-pull tension between local, state, and federal interests in water resource management. The participating experts also address the need for changes to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' operation of the Washington Aqueduct. This book offers a comprehensive look at the complex issues surrounding water resource management and provides valuable insights for anyone interested in the topic.
