Foreword

---

Water, which for centuries has been regarded as a virtually limitless resource, has recently come to be seen as a vital commodity in increasingly short supply.

The western United States, with its uncertain sources of supply and its rapidly increasing industrial, personal, and agricultural water demands, is currently facing many of the problems of water supply and allocation that eventually will confront the nation.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City hosted a symposium entitled "Western Water Resources: Coming Problems and the Policy Alternatives" on September 27 and 28, 1979, in Denver, Colorado. I hope that the following proceedings of that symposium will provide an opportunity for those with an interest in water issues to learn more about the future of this critically important natural resource.

These proceedings were compiled by Marvin Duncan, assistant vice president and economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Assistance was provided by Ann Laing and Kerry Webb, research associates with the bank.
