Book Description

The purpose of the White River Basin Comprehensive Study, authorized in 1962 and included in the 1963 Civil Works budget, was to determine the foreseeable short- and long-term water and related land resource needs in the basin; formulate a plan of development to provide for the best use, or combination of uses, of the resources of the basin to meet these needs; determine what projects or programs within the plan should be initiated within the next 10 to 15 years; and determine the extent of Federal and non-Federal participation in these projects or programs.
