5. HISTORY OF CD:CD WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT
The Department had a large staff component and many resources associated with the rapid growth in construction.
1945
Radical change took place in thinking on water management. In the past half a century the emphasis had been placed on supplying water to irrigators who used water extravagantly. The growing needs of expanding mines and industry as well as domestic users required a complete change in water legislation focusing on our limited water resources.
