Improvements Needed by the Water Resources Council and River Basin Commissions to Achieve the Objectives of the Water Resources Planning Act of 1965

Gao ID: CED-78-1 October 31, 1977

Twelve years after the passage of the Water Resources Planning Act of 1965, only limited progress has been made in carrying out its purposes. None of the river basin commissions, for example, has completed a comprehensive water plan for its entire region. Although the Water Resources Council is required to review these plans, it still has not determined how it will conduct the reviews nor has it reviewed the partial plans that it has received.
