国家的市政和工业用水供应主要由非联邦利益方负责。然而，美国工程兵团的水库系统是国家系统中的重要资源。更好地运行其水库，无论是单个水库还是整个系统，以及在需要时重新分配，都可以极大地增强供水能力。至于供需方程的另一面，即需求，兵团的节水计划将为供水规划人员提供更多更好的服务。

The nation's municipal and industrial water supply is mostly a responsibility of non-Federal interests. However, the Corps of Engineers' reservoir system is a vital resource in the nation's system. Better operation of its reservoirs, both individually and system-wide, along with reallocation where needed can substantially augment water supply capability. With respect to the other side of the supply and demand equation, demand, the Corps' water conservation program will provide an increased and better service to water supply planners.
