Dan Young, 1974 _ 4607 W. 14th, Lubbockimprove in 1971. During the year a
building fund - the District has
leased its present office in Lubbock
since 1954 - and a legal contingencynation of duphicative governmental ef-
fort. The much lower costs for such
studies, when performed by the Dis-
trict, should not be overlooked as a
means of reducing overall State and
Federal expenditures.
During this year, the District Direc-
tors toured several state and Federal
water agencies, and attended the con-
ventions and seminars of several state
and national water organizations and
associations. Throughout these trav-
els, the Directors were repeatedly in-
formed about the increasing difficul-
ties confronting the funding and de-
velopment of surface water projects.
The Directors heard several reports of
the declining of Federal funding of
water development projects, and the
serious modification or abandonment
of several water projects due to the
obstructions proposed by the, so-
called, environmentalists. In all, your
Directors emphatically affirmed their
conviction that conservation and prop-
er utilization of this area's ground-
water supplies is the District's first
and immediate responsibility. The
present trend to increasing opposition
to large surface water development
schemes - such as the proposed West
Texas-Eastern New Mexico water
import proposal - makes imperative
the continuation of the District's ef-
forts to attain near waste-free utiliza-
tion of the area's dwindling ground-
water reserves, as we continue to strive
for the eventual importation of surface
water to this area. It is to these ob-
jectives that we solicit the help and
cooperation of the area's many land-
owners and irrigators.
The effectiveness and stability of
local government is, in the large part,
determined by its financial well being.
I am happy to report that the financial
stability of the District continued toSUMMARY OF THE DISTRICT'S FINANCIAL STANDING 1961-1971*

well network within the District. Un-
der this contract about 210 new wells
were added to the program, in areas
not previously covered by the obser-
vation well network.
As the result of the increased need
for more accurate water-level data -
as required by the District's cost-in-
water-depletion, income-tax-allowance
program - the District, in 1967, com-
menced a program to upgrade the ob-
servation well program throughout
the entire District.
As a result of the District's work,
each observation well was identified
by a metal tag; located by a detailed
mapss; photographed for identifica-
tion; ihe measuring point at the land
surface photographed; the well's alti-
tude determined; and computer pro-
grams were developed to analyze and
process the water-level measurements
made therein. The present excellence
of the observation well program within
the District has established it as a
model for similar programs being de-
veloped throughout the Nation.
By letter, dated April 8, 1971, the
Execute e Director of the Texas Water
Development Board withdrew the
Board's participation in the observa-
tion well program; and by reply letter,
dated April 19, 1971, the District's
Manager accepted full control and re-

this report summarizes the District's
financial condition at the end of the
years listed. Annual audits itemizing
the expenditures of the District during
these same years have been filed for
