Pennsylvania made early progress in water planning with the 1905 Water Supply Commission, later merged into the Water and Power Resources Board. The piece notes duties over dam permits, stream declarations, and abuses by water companies. It also surveys Pennsylvania’s inland waterways history from canals to today’s river system spanning about 622 miles across five rivers and canals.

The
Inland waterways role in Pennsylvania transport fate
The Susquehanna region lacks developed navigable canals and river improvements. Most inland towing moves bulk coal and minerals where low cost dominates, so the inland waterway's future is uncertain. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia remain pivotal steel and port centers with the Ohio and Delaware rivers likely to stay major waterways.

Potential Return of Pennsylvania Iron Ore Industry
Experts predict a revival for Pennsylvania iron ore as Lake Superior supplies wane. The Cornwall mine in Leba non County stands as a rare high grade operation, while geophysical prospecting and beneficiation research could unlock lower grade reserves across the state to sustain metal production. Minnesota studies beneficiation methods to boost ore use as demand shifts.
