This article discusses the multiple use of the public water supply. Water utilities that depend on surface supplies face increasing pressure to maintain in-stream flows and to open reservoirs for recreational uses. Severely restricted access to watersheds in the interest of maintaining water quality is increasingly difficult, especially in the water-short West, in view of settlements of suits involving new development of water resources. An awareness of public concerns can result in planning solutions that are acceptable to all potential users. The author presented a similar paper at the 1984 Annual Conference and Exhibition of the American Water Works Association.
