Abstract
Certain views are presented of water resources management in the State of Washington and how this has been affected by the Columbia River Treaty and other bilateral arrangements.While the Columbia River discharges on the average of 180 million acre feet of water to the Pacific Ocean, the State of Washington receives the bulk of this water from outside its borders, with the greatest portion occurring in Canada. Hence, the Treaty formed the basis for the development of storage with benefits being shared by both countries.This has had a profound effect on the development of the Columbia River within the State of Washington. It is now worthwhile to make observations as to the adequacy of the Treaty in providing a basis for dealing with current water management problems and to discuss the effects the Treaty has had on settling other boundary water issues between Washington and Canada.
