ENVIRONMENT AND TUNNELING

THE CENTRAL ARIZONA PROJECT WILL CONSIST IN PART OF TUNNELS AND UNDERGROUND PIPELINES TO CONVEY WATER FROM THE COLORADO RIVER ACROSS ARIZONA TO THE PHOENIX AND TUCSON AREAS. IN ORDER TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCES PERTAINING TO TUNNELS, INCLUDING THE CENTRAL ARIZONA PROJECT, THE U. S. CONGRESS IS IN THE PROCESS OF CONSIDERING BUDGET PROPOSALS. THE COMMITTEE ON RAPID EXCAVATION OF THE NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL IN A 1968 REPORT TO THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES RECOMMENDED ESTABLISHING AN INTERAGENCY COMMITTEE "TO RECOMMEND HOW FEDERAL RESOURCES MAY BE USED EFFICIENTLY TO INITIATE AND MAINTAIN THE RESEARCH PROGRAM, TO COORDINATE THE OVERALL RESEARCH EFFORT, AND TO INTERPRET RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISSEMINATE PERTINENT INFORMATION TO ALL PARTIES, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, WITH INTEREST IN RAPID EXCAVATION". SUCH A COMMITTEE WAS ORGANIZED BY DR. EDWARD E. DAVID, JR., IN FEBRUARY 1971.
