Scope and Content Note

This series consists of original meeting minutes of the Division of Water's predecessor agencies: Water Storage Commission, Water Supply Commission, Conservation Commission regarding the Canaseraga Creek Improvement District, Water Power Commission, Water Power and Control Commission, and Water Resources Commission. Taken as a whole, the minutes document New York State's decisions, actions, and policies through much of the twentieth century on matters concerning water and the environment. Meeting minutes deal with such issues as public water supplies and water supply applications, sewage disposal, water resources planning, and flood control. The series has been organized into six subseries reflecting each of the predecessor agencies.
