Water Resources Development

The Water Resource Development Act of 2005 aims to provide for the conservation and development of water and related resources through various projects for improvements to rivers and harbors. The group proposed that the loss of wetlands can be prevented or reduced through three different methods, including pollution control, flood and erosion control, and promotion of healthy habitats and biodiversity. After examining different solutions to the three presented water resource issues, this team examined some specific trouble areas, including the Louisiana Coastline, the Upper Mississippi Riverbanks, and the Florida Everglades. They concluded with addressing some of the controversies surrounding this bill, as well as the ways in which its success could be measured.
