A workshop was held at Quail Roost, North Carolina, in July 1975 to develop recommendations for a research program for urban‐related water problems. This article summarizes the workshop recommendations, as finalized by a steering committee, for reorienting current research strategy and priorities. The committee, besides the two authors, included Bernard B. Berger, David H. Howells, L. Douglas James, and Scott Tucker. Basically, the workshop participants concluded that the federal research program on urban‐related water problems is inadequate to meet future needs and is urgently in need of redirection, particularly as it concerns water quality, flood plain management, land‐water interfaces, and governmental institutional arrangements.
