Company Profile
Delaware River Basin Commission
Company Overview
The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) is a federal-interstate agency created in 1961 by compact legislation signed into law by President John F. Kennedy and the governors of the four basin states with land draining to the Delaware River. The passage of this compact marked the first time that the federal government and a group of states joined together as equal partners on a regional body with the force of law to oversee a unified approach to managing a river system without regard to political boundaries. DRBC programs focus on the subjects of water supply, water conservation, water quality, flow/drought management, flood loss reduction, project review, and planning.
