Water Resources Decision-Making on the Basis of the Public Interest
The concept of water resources decision making in the public interest is both
fundamental and elusive. This report discusses alternative perspectives that
have been suggested for defining the public interest and provides an overview of
the decision making involved in a typical water resources planning study. It
then examines various approaches to determining the public interest in preauthorization
planning and decision making. It also presents an argument in support of current trends away from reliance on economic efficiency as a
basis for defining the public interest, and toward the direct involvement of
citizens in determining the factors and weights used in defining the public
interest. The argument proceeds in three principal parts, each of which
constitutes a chapter.

Water Supply Database 2004 Survey
This update of the Corps water supply database was initiated under the fiscal year 2004 Policy Studies Program of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Institute for Water Resources (IWR). Over the course of 2004 the Policy Studies Program was reoriented as part of IWR's realignment in response to the Chief of Engineers' 2012 initiative and the subsequent
reorganization of Headquarters, USACE. Under the reorganization of the Institute and HQUSACE this effort falls under the Water Supply Business Line, led by Ron Conner of the Institute for Water Resources.

Water Supply Database 2005 Update
This report updates a more detailed survey of Corps MSCs and their district that was performed in 2004. The report provides data on the Corps of Engineers Municipal and Industrial (M&I) water supply program current as of 2005. The data provided is on storage space and related costs. This information is provided by Corps district, project and water supply agreement. The data is then summarized by district and then by division and then for the nation. The data shows there are 136 Corps reservoir projects that contain a total of 9.76 million acre-feet of storage space for M&I water supply with a repayment value of $1.46 billion. This storage space is covered by 307 water supply agreements administered by 23 of the Corps 38 districts and is located in 25 states plus Puerto Rico. Information is also provided on reallocations, type of non-Federal sponsor and personal and household needs that could be met by our present use contracts.

Water Supply Handbook - A Handbook on Water Supply Planning and Resources Management
The field of water resources covers a wide range of topics and subject matter. This handbook focuses on one of those, the issue of water supply planning and resource management. Subject matter centers on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects and authorities, but is equally valid for use by others interested in this topic. The document is intended to serve as a comprehensive desk top reference on water supply topics that are spread throughout a voluminous body of Corps regulations, manuals, technical letters and memoranda, and also literature from the private sector. Information
in this handbook is intended for easy access and reference purposes only, and is not intended as a substitute for Headquarters U.S. Army Corps of Engineers policy or implementation guidance. It is envisioned that the handbook will be kept current through the Internet. Changes will be made as
laws of the land and policies of the Administration change. The various E-mail addresses and models contained throughout the report can also be kept current through this process.

Water Supply Seminar
The report presented herein is a slightly modified version of the presentations given to the PA class. It has been modified by lessons learned during the class. The material presented herein is meant to be a starting point for any similar one-day water supply seminar that may be given in the future. While laws, policies and procedures do change, the use of this report as a
starting point will prevent the need to "reinvent the wheel."

Watershed Study Impediments: Field Regulatory Survey Discussion Paper
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) has multiple roles in watershed planning and management. This discussion paper focuses on the role of the Corps Regulatory Program, and characterizes how the it conducts and participates in watershed-based planning studies for aquatic resources protection, including wetlands. The paper identifies different types of watershed or regional studies conducted for regulatory purposes and examines attributes (purposes, planning process, Corps roles, and products) of those studies. This paper is based on review and evaluation of pertinent guidance, a literature review of watershed/regional planning approaches and studies; and interviews of field staff (mostly regulatory) in seven districts with substantial experience in watershed studies.

Wetland Values, Concepts and Methods for Wetlands Evaluation
Report presents concepts and methods for the evaluation of wetlands pursuant
to Section 404, PL 92-500 (as amended) . , President Carter's May 24, 1977
Executive Order on wetlands protection, and other statutory and Administrative
authorities. The evaluation of wetlands is based on the analysis
of their physical, biological and human use characteristics. •The report
discusses these functional characteristics and identifies specific criteria
for determining the efficiency with which the respective functions are
performed. Two potential wetlands evaluation methods are deacribed. One is a nonquantitative
method in which individual wetland areas are evaluated based
on the deductive analysis of their individual functional characteristics.
The other is a semi-quantitative method in which the relative values of
two or more site alternatives are established through the mathematical
rating and summation of their functional relationships.
The specific functions and values of wetlands which are covered in this
report are (1) natural biological functions, including food chain
productivity and habitat, (2) their use as sanctuaries, refuges or
scientific study areas, (3) shoreline protection, (4) groundwater recharge,
(5) storage for flood and storm water, (6) water quality improvement,
(7) hydrologic support, and (8) various cultural values.

When People Complain Using Communication, Negotiation and Problem Solving to Resolve Complaints
This handbook sets forth the principles that have been found to be effective in the arenas of environmental conflict management, and customer service complaint management. At the end of some chapters there are more detailed exercises or case studies for classroom or study group use. The basic premise of this text is that effective communication makes learning and teaching possible, and opens the door to cooperative problem solving. If such mutualk learning and teaching does not remove or lessen the actual causes of citizen annoyance, it can nevertheless lead to the enchancement of USAREUR relationships with citizens, and the enchancement of their satisfaction with USAREUR procedures used in response too complaints.

Why the Federal and Regional Interest in Public Involvement in Water Resources Development
It should surprise few that public involvement has become so important to water resources planning. After all in a world of increasing population and limited resources some democratic distribution of those resources is to be expects in the US.
