  GAO-06-314, Indian Irrigation Projects: Numerous Issues Need to Be Addressed to Improve Project Management and ...
BIA acknowledged that the 2004 estimate would need revision largely for three reasons: the individuals who conducted the assessments did not have irrigation or engineering expertise, not all projects used the same methodology to develop their deferred maintenance estimates, and some projects incorrectly counted new construction items as deferred maintenance.
BIA's irrigation systems are non revenue- generating facilities that are primarily used for subsistence gardening and they are operated and maintained through a collaborative effort which generally involves other BIA programs, tribes, and water users.
BIA initially estimated its deferred maintenance costs at over $1 billion in fiscal year 2004, but acknowledged that this estimate was preliminary and would need to be revised largely because it incorrectly included new construction items and was developed by non-engineers.

Since taking over management from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the Gila River Police Department dramatically strengthened its capacity to enforce laws and enhanced public safety—improvements that are especially important because of the Community's proximity to a major metropolitan center.
During the 1990s, the Community's BIA law enforcement detachment was too small to patrol such a large area.
Moreover, because BIA officers worked out of a central office — as opposed to establishing — "beats" that divided up the large reservation—they found it difficult to respond to calls and arrive on-scene in a reasonable amount of time.

The biggest river, Rio Benito (about 230 km long) traverses the middle of the mainland province of Rio Muni and has an average width of some 150 m.
Other rivers have similar physiography and all typically have acid, fairly clean, “fl” waters of low pH (4.0–6.5), low in nutrient salts and dissolved oxygen, high in humic acids, resulting in low productivity, certainly no more than 25 kg/ha/yr for fish.
