Water Management in the Next Century

Proceedings of the 1991 Georgia Water Resources Conference, March 19-20, 1991, Athens, Georgia.Water management policies are products of knowledge, modified by political forces. They are born of human perception of need, or confrontation with crisis. Federal and state statutes, case laws, regulations, and administrative actions define U.S. water policies. New courses of action reflect changing times and perspectives, but old ones cling to traditions and many are associated with institutions having parochial rather than global outlooks. Furthermore, many outdated policies linger on interminably, often conflicting with contemporary beliefs. The issues identified herein concern Georgia and every other state.Sponsored by U.S. Geological Survey, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the University of Georgia, Georgia State University, and Georgia Institute of Technology.This book was published by the Institute of Natural Resources, The University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602 with partial funding provided by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Geological Survey, through the Georgia Water Research Institute as authorized by the Water Resources Research Act of 1984 (P.L. 98242).

Business in Nebraska #296 - May 1969

Employment in Export-Related Jobs in Nebraska (Dorothy Switzer) How many Nebraskans are employed in export-related jobs? What percentage of the state\u27s total private employment is auributable to export business ? These questions are raised frequently, but until recently no answers could be based on more up- to - date data than 1960 figures. Estimates of employment related to exports of goods, by state, based on data from a 1965 survey of the origins of exports, have now been provided, however, by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. Although unfortunately these estimates do not reflect the dramatic increases in Nebraska export business which have occurred in the past three years, they are of interest not only because they are the most recent available but also because they show Nebraska\u27s relative position with respect to other states in the West North Central Region and in the nation in each of the various categories of export - related employment. Even though the state\u27s export business has shown marked gains recently, it is doubtful that the increases have been sufficient to effect any sharp change in distribution of employment by categories, or in the state\u27s rank in the region and nation. Geographical Distribution of Federal Taxes (E. S. Wallace) Allocation of Federal taxes among the states has recently been calculated by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and the figures were published in the April issue of Nation\u27s Business. The methods of allocation used for the different taxes appear reasonable, and the tabulation seems to give a fairly realistic picture of the geographical distribution of the Federal tax burden. The Nebraska Water Resources Institute (Warren Viessman, Jr.) The Water Resources Research Institute is one of the 51 centers established in part by the Water Resources Research Act of 1964. These Institutes were conceived as cooperative ventures between the Federal and state governments and were assigned the primary mission of promoting a more adequate national program of water research. Business Summary (R. L. Busboom) Nebraska and U.S. physical and dollar volume indexes for February, 1969, reflect marked increases in the general level of business activity, both from February, 1968, and from January to February, 1969. Compared to their level, of the same month last year, the State\u27s February dollar volume index rose notably more than did that for the U.S. Likewise, both the Nation\u27s and the State\u27s physical volume indexes moved up over last year and over last month. Again, the State\u27s index rose more than that of the U.S. The well - known rising level of prices continued to effect a greater rise in the dollar volume indexes. The increase in the State over last year is in large part due to major increase in construction and electricity produced
