The Secretary is hereby authorized and directed to make studies in
cooperation with the Secretary of the Interior and the governments of
the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Trust Territory of the
Pacific Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands
for the purposes of providing plans for the development, utilization,
and conservation of water and related land resources of such
jurisdiction, at a total cost of $2,000,000 for each of the five
studies. Such studies shall include appropriate consideration of the
needs for flood protection, wise use of flood plain lands, navigation
facilities, hydroelectric power generation, regional water supply and
waste water management facilities systems, general recreation
facilities, enhancement and control of water quality, enhancement and
conservation of fish and wildlife, and other measures for environmental
enhancement, economic and human resources development. Such studies
shall be compatible with comprehensive development plans formulated by
local planning agencies and other interested Federal agencies. Any funds
made available under this section for a study for any such jurisdiction
which is not needed for such study shall be available to the Secretary
to construct authorized water resources projects in such jurisdiction
and to implement the findings of such study with appropriate cost
sharing as provided in this Act.
