<br />001225 <br /> <br />consumptive use or loss of dominion over water. It may <br />be, but is not necessarily limited to, one of the following: <br />(1) An overapplication of water which results in excessive <br />consumptive use. <br />(2) Excessive diversion into another drainage basin where <br />the excess is non-beneficially consumptively used and/or <br />which deprives vested rights in the basin of water origin <br />of their lawful diversions. <br />(3) Excessive use of operational water, including surface <br />runoff, or loss of water into borrow pits or natural <br />depressions where it is evaporated and lost to the <br />basin. <br />(e) Enlar~ed Use - Enlarged use is water diversions in excess of <br />those an appropriator has beneficially used in recent years, <br />i.e., since 1948, or since the water right was established, <br />if after 1948. Any change in manner or place of use which <br />reduces the return flow for concurrent periods of time to <br />the detriment of other appropriators is considered to be <br />enlarged use. <br />(f) Historic Supply The historic supply is that quantity of <br />water diverted or stored on any water right or combination <br />of rights as reflected by records on file in the Office of <br />the state engineer. Operational water returned to the <br />stream by surface channels and diversions in excess of a <br />full water supply should be included in the historic supply. <br />(g) Corrected Historic Supply- The corrected historic supply is <br />the historic supply corrected for operational water returned <br />to the stream by surface channels. Such supply is also the <br />historic supply corrected for depletions to canals created by <br />man-made works,when such diversions were less than a full <br />supply, which have deprived the. owner of vested rights of <br />part of his lawful supply. <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br />
