Abstract
  • With our present pressing need to clean up our Nation'a waterways there has developed a shift from water resource development to water quality management. This shift was manifested in 1972 when Congress created Areawide Water Quality Management in Section 208 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments. Section 208 conceives water quality management from an areawide perspective and brings water quality decisions down to local levels of government instead of the traditional state approach. A case study of the Mid Willamette Valley Council of Governments 208 agency in Oregon indicates, however, that the program has been burdened with many administrative problems and with a general lack of proper communication between the different levels of government. It is because of these issues that the efficacy of the 208 program remains for the most part uncertain.
