Abstract
Municipalities in the state of Georgia with limited water resources may find Federal water projects to be a suitable source of water. This paper discusses the evolution of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers policy in regard to water supply, withdrawal agreements and water storage reallocation. Close attention is given to the reallocation process and valuation methodology. The paper concludes with a discussion of current issues surrounding the Corps' authority to enter into storage reallocation contracts.
