(1) The state engineer shall furnish such directions and require such performance with respect to the work of those under his jurisdiction as will insure continuous, efficient, and effective discharge of the functions of the division of water resources.

(2) It is the duty of the state engineer to call to the attention of the state personnel director any conduct or failure of conduct of any employee in the division of water resources which would merit discharge or discipline beyond the authority of the state engineer, and, if necessary, he shall file formal charges with respect to such matters.

(3) Default in performance of his duties by the state engineer may be made the subject of charges by the executive director of the department of natural resources or the governor.

(4) Effective administration being essential to good government, it is the duty of the state personnel board to promptly hear, determine, and take action necessary to make effective the provisions of this section whenever the occasion may rise, and such board may, of its own motion, undertake whatever action may be necessary to insure efficient and honorable conduct on the part of employees within the division of water resources.
