FY 2016 Appropriation

The Applications and Records program's major responsibility is to ensure the viability of the water appropriation process. The program allocates and regulates surface and ground water throughout the state. Un-appropriated water may be allocated, and existing water rights may be transferred. The section processes all applications, which includes receipt, advertising, protests, hearings, and approval or rejection of the applications. This program also processes proof of beneficial use and issues the certificates of beneficial use. All water right files are of public record and are maintained on file and are accessible on the division's web site.
