Energy Development in the Southwest: Problems of Water, Fish, and Wildlife in the Upper Colorado River Basin / Edition 1

by Walter O. Spofford, Jr., Alfred L. Parker, Allen V. Kneese

Overview

First published in 1980, the second volume of Energy Development in the Southwest analyses water conditions and habitat life in the Upper Colorado River Basin, based on alternative national energy scenarios and attempts to assess some of the economic, demographic, and environmental impacts of each development scenario. The energy development scenarios considered in this book involve coal development and use, oil share production, and uranium mining and milling. This title will be of particular interest to students of Environmental Science.
