<br /> <br />ATER DEPARTMENT <br /> <br />THE CHALLENGE <br /> <br />To continue to manage and deliver water while protecting water rights for water users <br />in Imperial Valley at a cost that allows the economy to continue to flourish. <br /> <br />For 83 years the District has met many challenges to the delivery of water to farms <br />and businesses in Imperial Valley. The District has not just relied on water rights to pro- <br />tect this precious resource for landowners in Imperial Valley, but has strengthened <br />those rights by aggressively meeting any threat to them. <br /> <br />As demand for water throughout the West increases year by year, challenges become <br />more frequent and more intense. The District in 1994 through innovation and contin- <br />ued programs met these challenges head on. <br /> <br />· To continue to improve service and nexibility to water users at a reasonable cost. <br /> <br />· To continue aggressive water conservation programs while addressing environmental concerns. <br /> <br />· To address the rising level of Salton Sea without impacting agricultural production. <br /> <br />· To address growing concerns by state and federal agencies regarding quality of water in the Valley's <br />drains. <br /> <br /> <br />The following report summarizes progress in the above areas but is by no means an <br />all-inclusive list of accomplishment by the Water Department in 1994, but gives exam- <br />ples of the ongoing commitment to protect this vital resource. <br />
