Abstract
The recent and steadily increasing concern about the condition of the country’s water supply, its utilization and the potential demands that may be made upon it in the future, is a subject deserving of growing effort and study. One aspect of the water problem is its use in recreation. The rise in productivity and consumption standards, the increase and spread of leisure time through all levels of the society, and the emerging cultural goal of the ‘good life’1 are all factors responsible for an ever increasing pressure upon the nation’s recreational facilities.
Land Economics, November 1968. This paper was written with Joseph J. Seneca and F. Gerard Adams.
