Cape Cod, an area of outstanding beauty, with diverse natural ecosystems and cultural heritage, is ecologically fragile and vulnerable to threats from population growth and development. The water resources on the outer Cape are particularly vulnerable to degradation. During the last decade, there has been increasing evidence of both current and potential water resource problems and associated adverse ecological and economic impacts. As part of the local, regional, and national efforts to respond to these problems and protect water resources, the National Park Service is developing a Water Resource Management Plan for Cape Cod National Seashore. The purpose of the Plan is to define management actions for the protection and compatible use of the park's water resources. This Analysis of Water Resource Management Alternatives is part of the preparation of the Plan. The main sections of the report are: Section I: Introduction; Section II: National Park Service Policies and Jurisdiction; Section III: Water Resources; and Section IV: Environmental Assessment of Management Alternatives.
