Expertise:
For the last 25 years my major interest has been in the general area of institutional problems and issues of water resources management. In the middle 1960s I focused on Soviet water management. During the late 1960s and early 1970s recreational use of reservoirs (in the United States) and cost sharing recreational development were my primary foci. During the middle 1970s I concentrated on flood hazard mitigation. This interest was stimulated by my 14 month experience with the United StatesResources Council where I served as the chair of an interagency task force that was assigned to produce a unified national approach in flood plain management. From the late 1970s to the present, I have divided my efforts between water management issues in the Columbia Basin and comparative approaches to river basin management, the latter interest being stimulated by a Fulbright research fellowship in the Federal Republic of Germany. In the future I anticipate devoting some efforts to international aspects of United States Canadian management of the Columbia River.
