Overview
Population and economic growth, growing environmental concerns, and depleting groundwater reserves are resulting in increased needs for water supply, hydroelectric power generation, recreation, instream flow maintenance, flood control, and the other services provided by river basin development. With numerous aging dam and reservoir projects being operated in an environment of change and intensified demands to limited resources, improving reservoir/river system operations is a major concern throughout the United States and the world.Editorials
