Abstract: Beginning in January, 1992, the Bureau of Reclamation and the US Geological Survey formulated plans for the Watershed and River Systems Management Program - a cooperative interagency effort to develop and implement flexible and robust river basin management tools for the benefit of managers and decision makers using a data centered approach. In addition to Reclamation and the USGS, a number of other agencies and universities have made substantial contributions to the success of the program.
