Our work helps make sure natural resources are regulated effectively and efficiently according to the law. We make our compliance and enforcement activities transparent and accountable, so the public can be confident that the system works.
We plan and execute our work to address the most significant problems and to get the best return on the investment of our resources.
Each year we set regulatory priorities to guide our work for the following 12 months.
Helping people comply
We are committed to helping people comply with water laws because we know most people want to do the right thing. Learn more about how our staff educate and engage with water users to make sure they know the rules.
