"Federal Water-Power Legislation" is a seminal scholarly examination of the legal, political, and economic challenges surrounding the development of hydroelectric power in the United States. Written during a transformative era for American infrastructure, this work provides a detailed analysis of the legislative journey that led to the Federal Water Power Act of 1920. Jerome G. Kerwin explores the intense debates between advocates for public control of natural resources and those favoring private enterprise, capturing a pivotal moment in the history of American conservation and utility regulation.

The book delves into the constitutional complexities of federal jurisdiction over navigable waters and the evolving role of the government in managing the nation's energy potential. By tracing the history of water-power legislation from its early stages through the early 20th century, the author highlights the tensions between state and federal authority and the emergence of administrative bodies tasked with oversight. This volume remains an essential resource for students of environmental law, political science, and the history of public policy, offering deep insights into the foundations of modern energy governance and the preservation of natural assets for the public good.
