		In McDowell County, water and sewer infrastructure is being developed in a process that is largely top-down; in Letcher County, planning and implementation has proceeded on the grassroots level and combines concepts of both regionalization of infrastructure and of locally-tailored solutions.
		Similarly, McDowell County has declined from nearly 100,000 persons fifty years ago to about 30,000 today. A declining population means a declining tax base, particularly when a lack of financial resources in the population discourages and investment in maintenance of existing structures, both commercial and residential, let alone new business ventures and new construction.
		In McDowell County, West Virginia, where water and sewer planning and implementation follows the traditional top-down model, the goals of safe drinking water and proper sewage treatment for all citizens are the same as in Letcher County, where planning sprang from a grassroots assessment of local needs and resources.

		The economy and population of McDowell County, West Virginia, drastically decreased between 1950 and 1970.
		Using production and employment data of two representative McDowell County coal companies, it is clear that the introduction of continuous mining machines, which combined the cutting and loading of coal into one step, allowed companies to mine more coal with fewer workers.
		Because the economy of McDowell County was so coal-intensive, the increased unemployment caused by mechanization forced many miners to migrate to such midwestern industrial centers as Cleveland or Columbus.
