Full Description

This paper suggests that if government at any level should promote integrated resourcesplanning (IRP), the states, due to their long-standing authority, are far better suited to do so than the federal government. State government's traditional legal power and authority over water resources management make it a better candidate to help determine what conservation's most productive contribution can be at the system level than the federal government. This paper argues that many states can help strengthen water resources management in their jurisdictions by promoting conservation and integrated resources planning and, because of their historical role, they are particularly well-suited to do so. Includes tables.
