Based upon the findings and recommendations of the report from New Mexico state university and the university of New Mexico on state appropriation of unappropriated water, the legislature finds that:
A. the future water needs of New Mexico can best be met by allowing each region of the state to plan for its water future;
B. the state can assist the regions in planning future water use by implementing a state appropriation program to ensure an adequate supply of water for each region, as reflected in each region's water use plan; and
C. the interstate stream commission is the appropriate agency to implement such a program.
