This is the third annual report of the Water Science and Technology Board. The report summarizes the Board's activities during 1985, ongoing activities, and plans for the future. Included also is information on Board and study group memberships, program organization, issues of concern, and reports produced. The Water Science and Technology Board is a unit of the National Research Council (NRC), part of the National Academy of Sciences that exists by virtue of an act of Congress in 1963 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 availability of resources to it afford a unique and effective forum to address cohesively the variety of 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 1985, several hundred individuals participated in Board activities in various capacities.
