As head of the department charged with the administration of our public water supplies, he is required to decide numerous ques tions, all of which are based upon statutory proions or court decrees which are not always free from ambiguity. Proper rulings and decisions necessarily demand that he have a well grounded general knowledge of our water laws and supreme court decisions relating thereto.
As State guardian of all storage reservoirs, he should be highly qualified, through study and experience, to design and supere the construction of important dams and engineering works, upon the safety of which depends human lives and immense property values.
He is charged with the collection and publication of all in formation and data relative to our public water supplies upon which our major industry depends. This duty requires one trained in hydrographic studies, with a knowledge of present and future needs and possibilities of land and power development, and prob lems of water conservation and use.
