Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES




Sharing The Cost Of Making Federal

Water Project Feasibility Studies--

A Financing Alternative


Most feasibility studies performed by three
major Federal agencies to resolve water
iesource problems are discontinued before
Oompletion or conclude that no feasible
project can be identified primarily because
: osts exceed benefits or the local commu-
  ity does not support the proposed solution.

  Sharing of feasibility study costs with non-
  ederal sponsors has merit. It would not
  nly screen out some marginal studies but
  Iould also clearly demonstrate the local
  support for the study and encourage prompt
  lidentification and termination of those stud-
  ies having little chance of resulting in an
  !acceptable solution.

IThe report should help the Congress in
considering current cost sharing proposals.
if the Congress decides to adopt cost shar-
iing, GAO believes that it should be applied
!uniformly by all Federal water resources
jagencies.
