President Carter's water-policy-reform initiatives and his FY 1980 budget recommendations for the water-resources program were announced June 6, 1978. The new policy was to accomplish the following: place a new national emphasis on water conservation, improve the planning and evaluation of water projects, enhance Federal-State cooperative in water management, and give greater concern to the environmental effects of water projects. The hearings collected here covered testimony given over four days in February 1979. On February 5, W. Bowman Cutter, OMB, first presented a general statement in support of the water-policy-reform initiatives and the 1980 budget recommendations. Other testimony was given by representatives from the DOI Water Resources Council on February 6; DOI Bureau of Reclamation on February 7; and Office of the Secretary of the Army and Office of the Chief of Engineers on February 8.
