Dear Mr. Bryant:

l have noticed in recent quotationa Iron: the nevepapere thatyou
have plane for coordinating all oi the waterdevelopment, dataocollecting
and water-control agenciee under one central department. You an un-
doubtedly (amular with the law that created the Water Reaoorceo Depart-
meat. which wae given the authority to coordinate water reeoutcea acti-
vitiea and woe charged with the control and management of theeo. The
Water Roeourcea Department'e authority to control water waa deliberately
aeparated by the l959 Lapelature iron the water-data development agenciea.
There in touch merit in including all o! the-e departmente in one agency.
but perhape more merit can be developed for keeping the data-collecting
agencies eoparate from the water control and management agencies. You.
as a lawyer. will immediately recogniaa the advantage at having unbiaaed
data made available to both the water-control people and to the citiaana
anected by thin control. in either reopect. thin department in anions to
work with you and your adviaore to develop a program 0! wiee voter conaer-
vation and one.

Tho Florida Geological Garvey hao been collecting data on water reaoorcee
eince ite origin in i907, and i an: planned to noon! to you a copy of our iiet oi
pnhlicationo, in which thou atodioe are itemized. l am attaching to thin
letter a aummary oi the current and propoaed work in the water rooourcee
field. which in carried out with the Florida Geological Survey. cooperating
aa principal contracting agency with the U. 5. Geological Survey. Vlo were
unable to initiate the rathor comprohooaive water atudy which we had planned
to enter in l959. but the plan, which il attached to thia letter. in to be
preeented to the l9bl hegialaturo. and i hope that you will help on aecoro
the (node required to make theoe atudlea. l would appreciate the opportunity
of discount; the Statee water reaourcea program with you at your convenience.

gical Surveye Thirteenth Biennial Report. and you will note by referring to
