Abstract
  • The development of water resources causes unintentional as well as inten­tional hydrologic alterations, both of which may have significant socio­economic ramifications. Case one considers selected impacts of the rapid development of irrigated land upstream from large hydroelectric plants. This development is causing concern about the viability of industries that depend on large blocks of inexpensive hydroelectric energy. Studies indicate however that regional economic benefits from new irrigation out­weigh induced losses by industry. Case two discusses selected aspects of the plan to develop a hydro-thermal system. Implementation of this plan would increase water fluctuations as the Columbia system is used increa­singly for peaking energy. Energy oriented interests support the plan while a loose coalition of interests favoring water use for fish and wildlife habitat and/or leisure time-aesthetic uses oppose it.
