§ 1001. Purpose The Department of Environmental Conservation is created to administer the water conservation policy of this State
- . It is in the public interest that the waters of the State shall
be protected, regulated, and where necessary controlled under the authority of the
State. The proper administration of the water resources now and for the future require
careful consideration of the interruption of the natural flow of water in our watercourses
resulting from the construction of new, and the operation of existing dams, diversion,
and other control structures. This subchapter is intended to identify this need,
to provide a means for the investigation of the cause and effect of intermittent or
diverted flow, and for the consideration of corrective actions required to assure
as nearly continuous flow of waters in the natural watercourses as may be possible
consistent with reasonable use of riparian rights. (1965, No. 37, § 1; amended 1981, No. 222 (Adj. Sess.), § 24; 1987, No. 76, § 18.)
