 U-H clubs, farmers' organizations, chambers of commerce, 

 civic clubs, and influential citizens, are also important 

 in promoting water development. The Soil Conservation 

 Service provides technical assistance for development of 

 watersheds and cooperates with others interested in this 

 resource. The State Forester provides technical help on 

 management and protection of forest lands. Technical 

 assistance is available without charge. Federal funds 

 are also available for water use development and land 

 treatment for improving the watersheds.
