Extract

Resource economists, planners, and local, state and regional officials have long been concerned with water quality and supply management issues within the New England area. The primary responsibility for the planning and implementation of the majority of water resource programs within the region rests with local and state authorities. There are, however, efforts to approach many water supply and quality problems, particularly those which extend over a number of municipal and state jurisdictions, on a coordinated, regional basis, for example, through the various federal-state River Basins Commissions established throughout the United States.
