"It is high time for us to realize that a continued supply of fresh clean water is as vital to our overall security, more vital to our prosperity, than, for example, the space program," Symington said.
"It is sad but true that at a time when we should be accelerating water resource development," Symington said, "the whole program is being ham-strung because of lack of funds, partly because many project benefits receive only passing consideration when evaluated."
