BY JOHN W. sTEPP

Forebodings Of a rapidly
worsening water supply situation
in the Potomac River basin are
coming true all too soon.
Only last January the WASH
ington Engineer District of the
Army Engineer Corps. which
exercises Jurisdiction over the
waters of the Potomac and it's
tributaries, predicted that unless
immediate steps were taken cer-
tain sections of the basin-nota-
bly, the Washington area-would
face possible water shortages in
13 years.
In the few short months since
that gloomy expectation was
pronounced. these developments
have taken place:
The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, which sup
plies filtered water to suburban
Washington areas of Prince
Georges and Montgomery coun-
ties, has asked Maryland State
authorities for permission to
draw water for its system from
the Potomac by no later than
1860.
Similar Fairfax Petition
Fairfax County, Va, faced with
a similar continuing population
growth and the probability Of
going into the water business it
self. has filed a similar petition
with the Maryland Geology.
Mines and Water Resources
Commission.
The Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
road has acquired the Industrial
ly strategic Washington e. Old
Dominion line in nearby Virginia.
and has bought 95l acres of
Loudorn County land close to
the Potomac with the announced
intention of developing it for
industry.
Construction Of a dam on
Goose Greek in the same county
has been approved to supply the
town Of Fairfax, and portends
the development Of a 22-mile
stretch between town and dam
that would increase sewage
f1ow into the Potomac.
Rockville. Md. has announced
plans to go direct to the Poto-
mac for its water.
Potomac Electric Power Co.
not only has obtained a site be-

six-in-one theme.
The Army Transportation
Corps put the IL units that will
carry the theme floats through
their PAGES recently at Fort Eus-
tbs, Va. This was to make sure
that the six floats. joined to-
gether. will be able without diff
Guilty to negotiate the turns at
Fifteenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV, at both ends
of the Treasury Department.
This has been found feasible,
officials said
The six floats, together, will
measure a total Of 407 feet 8
inches long, officials said yes
terday. The IL units on which
they will be moved vary in length
from IA to 26 feet each, they ex-
planned.
While one powerful Army
tractor would be sufficient to
haul the creation. officials said
that two will be on hand, Just in
case one should break down.
A similar Army tractor hauled
the atomic cannon in the last
Inaugural Parade.
The committee said States

its 507-acre riverside property in
Loudoun County adjacent to the
proposed c. g. o. industrial tract.
Landowners directly across
the river in Montgomery County
have indicated that if the oppo-
site shore goes industrial they
would favor similar development
on their side.
Farther upstream in Cumber-
land, Md, Pittsburgh Plate

2 Surveys Started
These are only some Of the
cumulatively staggering develop
ments that engineers are trying
to take into account in two sep
arate surveys of the watershed
now in the preliminary stages.
One. an all encompaSsing
study Of the entire $4,000
square-mile river basin, is being
conducted by the Washington
Engineer District. The other,
confined to pollution abatement
problems in the Washington
area, has been contracted to a
private engineering firm by the
Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin.
Both to date are being under
taken on a financial shoestring.
The Army engineers had only
$4,000 earmarked for their
survey at the last session of Con-
gress. The public works COM
mittees Of that body. moreover.
specified that the scope be
limited to the North Branch of
the Potomac. from Cumberland
where flood control,
pollution and water supply prob
lems are more immediate.
The Army had asked 5000, 900
as a starter on the estimated
81 million total the four-year
oasin-wide study will cost.
The big handicap was that no
body but the Army engineers
showed up to stress the need for
the survey money when the re-
quest came before the Congress
Evening star., 1956-12-30

sional committee. The Engineer
District Office will be completely
nonplussed if the same lack of
public interest is shown when
more study funds are asked at
the next Congressional session.
The basin commission has
even less to work with-only
$4,000. This sum barely will
cover the expense of preliminary
work on the complexities of
stream pollution in the metro
politan area. The commission
would not have had this much
were it not for the new Federal
Water Pollution Control Law
which reserves limited funds for
pollution studies by interstate
Public Apathy Decried
Public officials long have de-
cried-and the public may long
and ruefully remember at some
future date-the fact that the
Potomac has remained for so
many years the only major river
basin in the Nation so little sur
veyed and SO little developed.
Without comprehensive study,
and the orderly planning ana
development that should follow,
the Potomac in future years con-
ceivably could become a drainage
ditch-a trickle of noxious water
in dry seasons and a roaring,
menace in wet.
At this early stage Of their
studies, the engineers are not
to state the specific
needs of the Potomac watershed.
They have ideas for a general
solution, though. And these all
focus on the construction of
water storage dams.
The basins lone major dam
the 6.5 billion gallon reservoir
on the Savage River - has
proved an outstanding success
IN retaining flood waters and
providing an adequate supply
for industry in the upper Po-
tomac at least.
The Washington Engineer
District currently is studying
three additional dam sites in the
same vicinity. Provided that the
necessary survey funds are ap-
propriated. a fourth potential
dam location will be studied at
River Bend. three miles up
stream from Great Falls.
