<br />f~"l')35' <br />lIi.! .l <br /> <br />Briefly stated, the objective is to formulate a framework program of <br />the best use of water and related land resources to guide future re- <br />source development. <br /> <br /> <br />In the development and use of water and related land resources the <br />local people'at all levels of Government have a part to play. On the <br />local level we have the private citizens, industries, civic organizations, <br />organized local districts, State Governments and County Governments. Of <br />particular importance in water resource planning is the private citizen <br />because, in the long run, most of the development work is for, and involves, <br />citizens, or people. The local role includes wise use of available re- <br />source planning and promoting long range objectives, providing sponsorship, <br />and financing of development works and cooperating with others. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The agencies of the States have a very important role in the develop- <br />ment and administration of the State resources. Every facet of the work <br />of water and related land resource development is ,covered by the State <br />agencies which, in many instances, have the primary role. This has been <br />historically true from the inception of statehood and has been of increas- <br />ing tempo with the passing of time. All States have, in recent years, <br />become much more active in water and related land resource planning work <br />and some States have active programs related to development. Briefly <br />stated, the State role in water and related land resource development is: <br /> <br />Stewardship of the State resources <br />Promotion of major objectives <br />Establishment of rights and jurisdiction <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />
