[§167-1]  Findings and declaration of
necessity.  It is important to the welfare of the people of Hawaii that
agricultural production be developed as fully as possible.  It is further found
that water presently tapped for irrigation is inadequate for the fullest
development of the economy of the State.  It is therefore hereby declared that
additional water and water facilities are necessary for the development of
agriculture in the State.



It is the intent of the legislature that no
project under this chapter shall be organized in the city and county of
Honolulu or other counties without the board of agriculture first consulting
the board of water supply of the city and county of Honolulu or the water board
or department of each county. [L 1987, c 306, pt of §1]
