    Biographical / Historical

    Congress passed the Water Resources Planning Act in 1965, creating a federal Water Resources Council. In 1967 they authorized the creation of a non-federal National Water Commission to look after the long-range problems confronting the U.S. in its effort to preserve its water resources. The Committee itself was established by Congress in September 1968 and consisted of Charles F. Luce, Howell Appling, Jr., James R. Ellis, Roger C. Ernst, Ray K. Linsley, James E. Murphy, and Josiah Wheat.
