Continuing population growth and rapid development, coupled with environmental events such as droughts, have led to increasing water shortages in sections of the nation. In Interstate Water Compacts author Joseph F. Zimmerman highlights the growing importance of water issues within the United States and a device that has been instrumental in facilitating interstate cooperation to solve water-related problems: the interstate compact.This groundbreaking work is the first to devote itself exclusively to interstate and federal-interstate compacts pertaining to controversies including the abatement of water pollution, apportionment of river waters, economic development, flood control, inland fisheries, marine fisheries, and restoration to rivers of anadromous fish, such as salmon and shad. The process for entering into interstate and federal-interstate compacts is explained in detail, as is the exercise of original jurisdiction by the US Supreme Court to resolve intractable interstate controversies involving interpretation of provisions of compacts, water apportionment, and water pollution abatement. Zimmerman concludes by calling for the President, Congress, governors, state legislatures, and local governments to devote more attention and resources to finding solutions for water-related problems. 606 $aWater$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aWater resources development$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aWater$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aInterstate agreements$zUnited States 606 $aWater-supply$xManagement 615 0$aWater$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aWater resources development$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aWater$xGovernment policy 615 0$aInterstate agreements 615 0$aWater-supply$xManagement. 676 $a333.9117 700 $aZimmerman$b Joseph Francis$f1928-$0275771 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820500403321 996 $aInterstate Water Compacts$93959034 997 $aUNINA
