Energy and Water Development Coalition
|
A coalition of groups representing
ports and waterways, scientific research, energy supply, western water
and power, environmental restoration, and nuclear deterrence and
non-proliferation. The
focus of the coalition is on increased funding in the Energy and Water
Appropriations bill.
The individual members of our
Coalition are not in a position to evaluate the programs sponsored by
the other members. However,
we jointly acknowledge two things.
First, each program has identified significant program
degradation caused by past shortages of budget resources, as well as
defined challenges it should meet for the future in environmentally
enlightened ways. Second,
we are likely to succeed individually only if the overall budget envelop
for Energy and Water corrects for past and current inflation and
provides a funding flow enabling efficient
program implementation in the future. |

The Small Reclamation Program
Act Coalition is an effort to modernize the existing Small Reclamation
Loan Program, which was last amended in 1986, to recognize the social,
economic and environmental changes necessary to undertake projects under
this program with respect to the current water resources development
needs in the seventeen western states.
Those changes are embodied in legislation that is
currently before Congress. Title II of H.R.3208 and S.1882 reflect
the changes to the existing Small Reclamation Loan Program that will
enable the western water users to undertake new proposals to address new
approaches using this unique program. |
