Multiple-Purpose Reservoirs: A Symposium: Planning for the Recreational Use of Reservoirs

Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 115, Issue 1

Abstract

Since about 1946 there has been a great outpouring of literature in regard to the various proposals advanced for the control of water resources in the United States, particularly west of the Mississippi River where the problem is not only to prevent floods and to provide for navigation, but also to conserve water for agriculture, power, and other uses. Periodicals-popular, professional, and organizational-have carried articles dealing with one or more phases of the subject. Hundreds of studies have been made by interested agencies and many of the results have been published. Cartoonists and cartographers have found a fertile field for their skills. Organizations have been formed to put forward ideas in behalf of one proposal or against another. All this serves to demonstrate the interest, or concern, in the subject of water conservation.
