them better;

the waters on and under the surface of the land from
their sources to sea so as to have always present an
abundant supply, clear and clean, with flow suffic
iently controlled to prevent unnecessary damage;

ests, streams, range and farmland, for sport and for
recreation, encouraging always its survival and, in
balance with other, resources;
TO TAKE

its other stored or non-renewable resources, in such a
way that the'supply is not wasted, but is used with
good sense, and made to last for time to come;
