A Water Commissioner overseas and allocates water rights and is legally empowered to plan the water infrastructure, set water prices, license drilling of wells, and set water quotas. Originally, the commissioner and the commission were appointed by the Minister of Agriculture. Today, joint ministerial supervision is accomplished by agriculture and infrastructure. The 1959 law called for the Water Commission to be composed 2/3 by representatives from the 'public', meaning consumers, primarily farmers.
