For example. all federal acts, authorizations, and court decisions since 1776 are given by year. Fifteen significant policy studies in the 20th century are cited. A basic summary of water hydrology is provided. The author`s discussion of political imperatives describes the interactions of interest groups, politicians, voters, and the relevant agencies in producing water legislation and case studies to illustrate the processes.
