This paper suggests that if government at any level should promote integrated resources
planning (IRP), the states, due to their long-standing authority, are far better
suited to do so than the federal government. State government's traditional legal
power and authority over water resources management make it a better candidate
to help determine what conservation's most productive contribution can be at the system
level than the federal government. This paper argues that many states can help
strengthen water resources management in their jurisdictions by promoting conservation
and integrated resources planning and, because of their historical role, they are
particularly well-suited to do so. Includes tables.
