Activities of the Senate Select Committee on National Water Resources
This paper discusses a water resources study done by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on National Water Resources. The results of this study will provide the primary basis for the report submitted by the committee to the Senate in January 1961. The report contains information on the following topics: the nature and extent of needed water development between now and 1980; when and where development will be needed; what the pattern of development should be; what the economic limits on development are; and, what expenditures of public and private funds can be economically justified. In short, the committee's task is to forecast national growth and social and economic changes for the next two decades, insofar as these affect or are affected by water. Because water is involved in almost every human activity, this undertaking is of almost limitless proportions. The committee hopes that its findings will provide an effective guide for determining the public policy and programs of resources development that will enable the best possible use to be made of available water. The committee is not likely to recommend specific projects; instead, it will probably indicate the nature and extent of development required for each river basin and recommend legislative policy that will assist in meeting those requirements.
