Abstract:

Two years ago, new rules were adopted to require dam building agencies to consider fish and wildlife needs when planning a big water project. Interior Secretary James Watt wants to rewrite those rules so that economic considerations have priority over environmental concerns. Conservationists argue that this would be a huge step backwards and pose a real threat to wildlife habitat.
