50 p. (Available from NTIS as PB 244 821/5SL.) 



Institutional arrangements coping with the problem of water quality in 

 international rivers were examineol. Findings are restricted to the evidence 

 available and are tentative only. Both the International Boundary and 

 Water Commission (United States- Mexico) and the International Joint 

 Commission (United States-Canada) are adequately meeting technical prob- 

 lems of quality control in their respective jurisdictions. Political aspects of 

 water policy, however, caused delays in solving the salinity problem on the 

 Colorado River and the downstream benefits issue on the Columbia River.
