Synopsis

Excerpt from A History of Federal Water Resources Programs, 1800-1960

The Federal Government of the 1970's has a great number of domestic responsibilities. It is a truly national Government, involved to some degree in almost every concern in which there can be said to be a national interest - including health, labor, housing, education, social security, the development of science and technology, and the protection of the environ ment.

Therefore, it is surprising to discover from this study of a limited part of American history, that water resources planning and development have been very important in the work of the Federal Government. The Government was involved in planning and building water projects at a time when it participated very little in programs concerning most of its other current domestic concerns. Furthermore, issues involving the Federal role in water management have frequently been important in American politics, and they still are.
