Potomac Valley Compact
Establishes the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin (ICPRB) to cooperatively preserve water quality and to conserve water and related land resources of the Potomac River Basin. ICPRB is a non-regulatory agency that promotes water quality and related land protection among the Potomac Basin states through watershed-based approaches. In 1979, the Commission created the Cooperative Water Supply operations on the Potomac (CO OP), which provides water usage forecasts and coordinates water manage¬ment of the Upper Potomac Reservoirs and with the operations of the water utilities in the Washington metropolitan area.
