568 may nevertheless be added. This fact is variously recognized by statute. Recreation.-In the case of recreation, we have previously collected and reviewed the significant provisions of law.401 It will bear repeating, however, that general provision has been made for recreational use of reservoir projects under Army con- trol.402 But there is no corresponding general authorization with respect to projects of the Bureau of Reclamation.403 And a different provision is available in the case of the Tennessee Valley Authority.404 Surplus Water.-The varying provisions of statutes concern- ing supply of water for domestic municipal, stock-watering, and industrial purposes have been previously grouped and reviewed.405 Some differences warrant comment here. In specified circumstances, the Secretary of the Army may receive contributions from local interests to be expended in connection with funds appropriated for authorized flood-con- trol work and may modify any reservoir project plans to pro- vide additional storage capacity for "domestic water supply or other conservation storage."406 While no corresponding provision exists in the case of navigation or irrigation proj- ects, a 1906 statute makes a limited provision for furnishing water to towns in or near irrigation projects.407 In the case of either navigation or flood-control projects, the Secretary of the Army may make contracts for "domestic and industrial uses for surplus water."408 Such a contract may not adversely affect "then existing lawful uses of such water." 401 See supra, pp. 331-334. 402 Act of December 22,1944, § 4, 58 Stat. 887, 889, as amended, 16 U. S. C. 460d. 408 For instances of recreational use of reservoir areas at Reclamation proj- ects under agreement with the National Park Service, see supra, -p. 333. 4(14 Act of May 18, 1933, §4(k) (a), 48 Stat 58, 60, as added by Act of July 181941,55 Stat. 599,16 U. S. O. 831c(k) (a). 405 See supra, pp. 319-327. m Act of June 22,1936, § 5, 49 Stat. 1570, 1572 as added by Act of July 19, 1937, § 1, 50 Stat. 515, 518, 33 U. S. C. 701h. 407 Act of April 16,1906, § 4, 34 Stat. 116, 43 U. S. C. 567. 408 Act of December 22, 1944, § 6, 58 Stat. 887, 890, 33 U. S. C. 708.
