Abstract
Under Public Law 92-500, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency embarked on a major program of cost sharing grants to implement lake rehabilitation and protection projects. Improvement of water quality impacts the lives of people and organizations; however, the methods used to measure the impact of water quality projects on the socio-economic well-being of people and on the viability of organizations and communities is rudimentary in general and nonexistent with respect to this financial assistance program. A method is needed to help select lake communities as recipients of state and federal grants and to evaluate the effectiveness of the project.
