A case study of a federal expenditures on a water and related land resource project; Plan of study subproject report. Boise Project, Idaho and Orgeon OWRR Title II contract C-4202-IDA Item Info

Modern technology, increased affluence and population growth have resulted in an expanding use of the nation's water and related land resources. The public is demanding better management and use of natural resources while at the same time the conflicting demands are creating more and more issues. Federal expenditures make up a substantial portion of all government expenditures in water development. This Plan of Study Subproject report presents an analysis of the federal role in water development and planning criteria; and the report proposes an approach for completing the ex-post analysis of the Boise Project in southwest Idaho and eastern Oregon. As a result of the work completed during the first year on the Plan of Study Subproject Study and the Hydrology and Economic History Support studies the following conclusions and recommendations are presented and discussed: --Ex-post analysis of a selected water resource project can contribute to more responsive planning, decision making and a better allocation of resources. --Ex-post analysis, structured so as to utilize the Principles and Standards,!/ will provide maximum utility to the planner. --Ex-post analysis should be structured following societal objectives rather than traditional water use functional objectives. The Principles and Standards, with modification can accommodate this approach. ' --The influence of exogenous forces on beneficial and adverse effects must be considered if a realistic appraisal is to be obtained through an ex-post analysis.
