- Title
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT: WATER AND RELATED LAND.
- Authors
Caulfield Jr., Henry P.
- Abstract
Water and related land resources management is clearly a major area within the total scope of the new environmental management envisioned by the new conservation-not to mention the new regional economic development of the Public Works and Economic Development Act, and the new focus upon the coastal zone of the National Council on Marine Resources and Engineering Development. As a public function in substantial part water and related land resources management has been with people since the founding of the republic and several of that management's present basic concepts are the product of the traditional conservation movement. Opportunities for complementarily of action, acting like a centripetal force, provide incentive for use of related resources for two or more purposes jointly because benefits can often be obtained at less cost than if their fulfillment were achieved separately. Because conflict breeds inaction that is detrimental to most interests, there is incentive to compromise to reach agreement.
