The Nature of Water Resources Policy and Policymaking

Abstract: Abstract. The inclusion of environmental quality as an explicit goal and income redistribution as an implicit goal in the federal water policy changes the nature of the policy from strictly distributive to a mixture of distribution, regulation, and redistribution. To accommodate these goals, a new decisionmaking system and a nevi policymaking process are developed. Theodore Lowi's policy typology and Robert Salisbury's concept of shifting policy nature are employed to help account for changes in policy and the policymaking system and process.
