Prepared by the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, this document outlines a plan for the use of water and other physical resources of the Columbia River Basin. Presented in the report are descriptions of the basin's natural resources, its people, their use of the resources, as well as related investigations and summaries on affiliated problems and possibilities. As to use of physical resources, the principal emphasis is upon water utilization, for example the provisional use of water as required in the case of migratory fish, hydroelectric power production, and for navigation on the lower Snake and Columbia Rivers. This 1947 edition was issued in advance of its publication as a Congressional Document; it includes black and white photos, and numerous maps covering power facilities, developed and undeveloped land, and water resources.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: River in Common: The Columbia River, the Salmon Ecosystem, and Water Policy; Columbia River, the salmon ecosystem, and water policy 206 p. In the Western Water Policy Review Act of 1992, Congress charged the President with reviewing and reporting on federal activities in the west that affect the allocation and use of water resources. The legislation directed the Western Water Policy Review Advisory Commission to advise the President, considering many specific facets of western water issues. This report was written on behalf of the Commission. The author, who worked 12 years as a lawyer for the Northwest Power Planning Council, has sought to objectively discuss legal and economic issues about salmon recovery for the Columbia Basin. The study looks out at the basin from a particular point where water policy and salmon policy meet, and asks how water programs, especially federal water programs, are holding up.
