While the area is very productive of crops such as cotton, grain sorghums, vegetables and citrus, it suffers from some problems of resource use. These include an inadequate supply of water, inefficient use of existing water suppiles, and inadequate drainage. It has only been in the past two decades that these problems have materially affected the Valley. Today they are of major concern and must be resolved if' the Valley is to continue to prosper. In the Valley, various private and governmental organizations and a few individuals have recognized a need for adjustment in resource use.
People are now concerned with possible procedures for initiating said action.
They are concerned with forming appropriate organizations and getting the active cooperation and participation of existing organizations. Essential to a program for action and organization for administering a program will be recognition and effective adjustment of institutional factors affecting resource use. These factors include existing and proposed laws and statutes, organizations which control water, governmental agencies, commodity markets, customary farming practices, etc. These are institutions which are related to the action or adjustment that must be taken. They are critical to further development of the Valley.
