Book Description
Excerpt from History of Federal Water Resources Programs and Policies, 1961-1970 It is always somewhat arbitrary to select one particular year rather than another as the beginning of a new period. But 1966 does seem to be the beginning 'of a new period, because the years 1965 and 1966 produced an exceptionally large number of ambitious water-oriented acts of Congress and several important Executive orders. Indeed, 1966 was intended, by both the executive branch and Congress to be a year of important new program beginnings in both water pollution control and comprehensive river basin planning oriented to the new water development purposes of municipal water supply and recreation. Because of Vietnam era budget stringencies, however, less fun ding was made available for these new programs than had been anticipated.

Book Description
The shortage of fresh water is likely to be one of the most pressing issues of the twenty-first century. A UNESCO report predicts that as many as 7 billion people will face shortages of drinking water by 2050. Here, David Lewis Feldman examines river-basin management cases around the world to show how fresh water can be managed to sustain economic development while protecting the environment. He argues that policy makers can employ adaptive management to avoid making decisions that could harm the environment, to recognize and correct mistakes, and to monitor environmental and socioeconomic changes caused by previous policies. To demonstrate how adaptive management can work, Feldman applies it to the Delaware, Susquehanna, Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint, Sacramento–San Joaquin, and Columbia river basins. He assesses the impacts of runoff pollution and climate change, the environmental-justice aspects of water management, and the prospects for sustainable fresh water management. Case studies of the Murray-Darling basin in Australia, the Rhine and Danube in Europe, the Zambezi in Africa, and the Rio de la Plata in South America reveal the impediments to, and opportunities for, adaptive management on a global scale. Feldman's comprehensive investigation and practical analysis bring new insight into the global and political challenges of preserving and managing one of the planet's most important resources.
