This fourth annual report of the Water Science and Technology Board summarizes the Board's accomplishments during 1986, its current activities, and its plans for the future. The report also includes information on Board and study group memberships, program organization, and reports produced. The Water Science and Technology Board is a unit of the National Research Council, the operating arm of the National Academy of Sciences that exists by virtue of an 1863 act of Congress, instructing it to provide scientific and technological assistance to the federal government. The Board is independent of the federal government, and participants in Board activities serve without compensation. The expertise and resources available to the Board extend across many disciplines and types of organizations concerned with water and related resources. The Board's independence and the resources available to it afford a unique and effective forum for addressing cohesively various important issues on the national water resources agenda. The volunteers who serve the Water Science and Technology Board and the Board's federal agency liaison representatives are the constituency on which it depends for the quality of its work in response to those who seek its advice. In 1986, several hundred individuals participated in Board activities in various capacities.
