This article begins with a brief overview of water planning and operational functions at the federal, state, and local levels of government. The need for coordination and collaboration of these three levels of government on water projects is discussed and formed the background for the creation of the Water Resources Planning Act of 1965. Comprehensive river basin planning is discussed, along with the the appropriate relationships of local water supply agencies to such planning.
