America is facing a water crisis, and nowhere is this more evident than in the West where significant problems abound. How are we responding to this rapidly growing crisis? We’re not. "Deadbeat Dams" reveals the need to change western water policies and exposes the public to the lack of common sense, corruption, and utter waste of taxpayers’ money that the author witnessed over a long government career spanning three decades. The faults of the present system of federally assisted water management efforts are amply detailed, and an agenda for reform is provided that can be used as ammunition by a new generation of water reformers</span><u class="" style=""></u><u class="" style=""></u></div></div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430080990821_4219"><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: black;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430080990821_4218"><span style="font-size: 11pt;" class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430080990821_4260">Bio: Dan Beard has been an advocate for water policy reform for nearly four decades, and is former Commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.<br class="" style=""><br class="" style="">Thanks,<br class="" style=""><br class="" style="">Zan Rubin<br class="" style=""><a href="mailto:zanrubin@berkeley.edu" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430080990821_4261">zanrubin@berkeley.edu</a></span></div></div></div></body></html>
