Show 643 for proper soil-conservation practices,822 and the construction of Department of Agriculture flood-control works,823 and water facility projects.824 Many of these conditions have been crystallized in the form of published regulations.825 Such conditions and regulations may be employed to integrate federal and nonfederal' use of land in relation to water resources. Passing reference may also be made to the resale rate re- quirements of such statutes as the Bonneville Project Act and the Tennessee Valley Authority Act, which provide further means of federal regulation in a limited sphere.826 Conclusion At different times and in different ways, law has responded to the changing needs for development, utilization, and con- servation of water resources, including related uses of land. This process has produced a number of conflicts, duplications, and gaps. These should be eliminated along with any major revision of policy respecting water resources. It should be emphasized, in this connection, that time has not permitted research sufficient to assure complete coverage by this survey of all relevant aspects of the law. Moreover, we have purposely omitted discussion of the vital matters of administrative organization, as such. We have sought to include discussion of the more significant substantive provi- sions. Further detailed research will be required to enable full statutory coordination. Clearly, the benefits to be gained from a coordination of implementing laws attract the care and precision required. The interests of present and future generations demand it. 8a See supra, pp. 371-372. 828 See supra, p. 376. 824 See supra, p. 378. 820 See supra, pp. 333, 625. 826 See supra, pp. 305, 307. |
