The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is responsible for
construction, operations, and maintenance of much of the nation's
water resources infrastructure. This infrastructure includes flood
control levees, multi-purpose dams, locks, navigation channels,
port and harbor facilities, and beach protection infrastructure.
The Corps of Engineers also regulates the dredging and filling of
wetlands subject to federal jurisdictions. Along with its programs
for flood damage reduction and support of commercial navigation,
ecosystem restoration was added as a primary Corps mission area in
1996. The National Research Council (NRC) Committee on U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers on Water Resources Science, Engineering, and
Planning was convened by the NRC at the request of the Corps of
Engineers to provide independent advice to the Corps on an array of
strategic and planning issues. National Water Resources Challenges
Facing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers surveys the key water
resources challenges facing the Corps, the limits of what might be
expected today from the Corps, and future prospects for the agency.
This report presents several findings, but no recommendations, to
the Corps of Engineers based on initial investigations and
discussions with Corps leadership. National Water Resources
Challenges Facing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers can serve as a
foundational resource for the Corps of Engineers, U.S. Congress,
federal agencies, and Corps project co-sponsors, among others.
