The present study analyzes the procedures for measuring benefics and costs employed by the two major agencies which are building federal water-resource projects today : The Bureau of Reclamation of the Department of the Interior and the corps of Engineers, US Army. The analysis is based on the theory of welfare economics / it treats benefit-cost analysis as a means of testing the quality of a project and of selecting the most desirable projects from the point of view of economic efficiency. This study consists of chapters. In chapters 2 to 4 the portions of the theory of wilfare economics are outlined which pertain particulary to project evaluation, and the benefit-cost criterion derived from the theory. Chapters 5 to 8 are devoted to the procedures in four major fields of water - resource development : flood control, irrigation, navigation, and electric power. |
