About this book
The volume is titled The Nation's River, with the subtitle A Report on the Potomac. The opening describes the book as a report on the Potomac from the U.S. Department of the Interior, with recommendations for action by the Federal Interdepartmental Task Force on the Potomac. A letter of transmittal says the enclosed report is "submitted in response to your February 8, 1965, request that we prepare a program for your consideration".
The text says shipping centers grew up near the head of navigation, among them Alexandria and Georgetown. Where more than one State is involved, the text says, a good forceful river basin agency is clearly needed to coordinate water supply with water demand. The text says three of the additional reservoirs are those on Town Creek, Little Cacapon Creek, and Sideling Hill Creek.
