This is the second annual report of the Water Science and Technology Board (WSTB), a unit of the National Research Council (NRC). It summarizes the Board's activities during 1984, ongoing activities (i.e., in 1985), and future plans. Information is included also on Board and study group memberships, program organization, issues of concern, and reports published. For the Water Science and Technology Board, 1984 was marked by several significant events and achievements, and the Board's program for the year must be considered successful. A number of important new activities were undertaken, including a study of the technical and institutional aspects of state and local ground-water protection programs and an assessment of flood and earthquake criteria to be used in the evaluation of the safety of dams. In cooperation with the Royal Society of Canada, a study committee of the Board is reviewing the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, with the report likely to make recommendations for consideration by the US and Canadian governments if they renegotiate the Agreement in 1986. A new, standing Committee on Water Resources Research was established to assist the Department of the Interior, through the US Geological Survey, in carrying out its responsibilities under the Water Resources Research Act of 1984 and to assist the Survey and the Board with other water research-related matters.
