Evaluation of Selected Environmental, Socio-Economic and Institutional Effects of Implementation of the Federal Water Conservation and Reuse Policy in a River Basin with a Water Surplus (The Washington County, Tennessee Portion of the French-Broad River Basin)

摘要

The importance of water conservation has been emphasized by a proposed National Water Policy which was announced by President Carter on June 6, 1978. This policy stressed water conservation and reuse on a national scale. Such a policy seeks to apply one program to all water resource problems. Consideration must be given to those vast areas of the country which in reality do not have a shortage of water.
