商品簡介
Articles ranging widely in length but averaging well over a page, cover regional water politics and policy, major issues in water politics and policy, law and government, and places and projects. Articles--rather than specific passages--are cross referenced, and include sizable bibliographies. The information could be useful for students and teachers, researchers in the relevant science or policy, historians, advocates, and decision makers. Among the topics are climate change, riparian rights, the 1971 California-Nevada Interstate Water Compact, Harold Ickes, the US Department of Agriculture's small watershed program, Cape Cod Canal, and the Snake River Basin.
