Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Since May 1962, the foundation document for formulating and evaluating water and related land resource plans has been Senate Document 97. In the period since 1962, national interests and priorities have changed. It is in response to this changing emphasis towards water and land resources that the Water Resources Council and its member agencies direct the Principles and Standards for Water and Related Land Resources Planning. These Principles and Standards were published on September 10, 1973, in the Federal Register, Volume 3B, Number 174, Part III and became effective on October 25, 1973. The Principles provide the broad framework for planning activities and include the conceptual basis for planning. The Standards provide for uniformity and consistency in comparing, measuring, and judging beneficial and adverse effects of alternative plans. The Principles and Standards specify that the overall purpose of water and land resource planning will be directed toward improvement in the quality of life through contributions to the objectives of national economic development and environmental quality.
