The continued acquisition of waterfowl habitat through fee title, <br /> <br /> <br />easements, and/or additions to the national wildlife refuge system is a <br /> <br /> <br />controversial issue in North Dakota. The Water Bank program administered by <br /> <br /> <br />USDA is seemingly a more acceptable method of preserving wetlands, from the <br /> <br /> <br />landowner's point of view, because agreement conditions are not perpetual. <br /> <br />Considerable research and analysis is nee~ed to determine the relationship <br />between supply and demand and the value of benefits derived from maintaining <br />habitat. <br /> <br />G-14 <br />
