Abstract

The influence of the Federal Power Commission on the design and operation of multiple-purpose reservoirs has probably been greater than the average engineer realizes. The Commission has broad responsibilities in connection with the improvement of those rivers under the jurisdiction of the United States, particularly as they relate to hydroelectric projects. In its work the Commission performs duties prescribed under the Federal Power Act with respect to the licensing of hydroelectric projects, and advises with other government agencies on river basin improvement programs. The commission is not engaged in actual construction work; nor does it operate any projects.
