| Abstract |
While economists and engineers have fairly concrete and explicit criteria for judging water projects as economically justifiable and technically feasible, political scientists have yet to provide comparable insight into the process by which water development becomes politically viable. The project develops a pattern of politics which illustrates the process through which water development proposals become politically feasible. The basic variable which structures the pattern is the perception of the risks and rewards involved in different policy choices in water. The relevance and accuracy of the political model which is constructed is tested against examples of policy making. A case study is made of the way New Mexico got its share of the Colorado River Basin Act of 1968. The authorizations of the Animas-La Plata project and Hooker Dam are examined in particular detail. |
