Environmental Issues in the Allocation and Management of Western Interstate Rivers	2013	20	.pdf	application/pdf	9961	551	56	As Prof. Doug Grant, one of the leading authorities on interstate water compacts, wrote in 2003, [w]estern states are the main participants in water allocation compacts. The federal benefits typically were the funding and building of water development projects using interstate waters, projects that by common understanding were not likely to be funded by Congress absent agreement by the affected states regarding allocation of the interstate waters.23 In other words, the states were motivated to enter water compacts largely in hopes of securing authorization and funding for major federal water projects, and Congress delivered dozens of such projects in the middle part of the 20th century.24 20.	cache/iiclr-20962.pdf	txt/iiclr-20962.txt
