Congressional Action Needed to Provide a Better Focus on Water-Related Research Activities.
Abstract
Although tne Nation has an abundant water supply, its geographical distribution and availability often do not match demand. Consequently, the Nation faces serious water problems in the West and certain other areas of the country. Developing and implementing technologies that conserve or augment water supplies could help alleviate these problems. Also, these efforts and other water-related research and development activities are fragmented among 28 Federal organizations that plan to spend about $380 million during fiscal year 1981. Congressional action is needed to better focus use of these funds. (Author)
