Reservoir Water Riahts

o Water rights decreed or filed for the proposed reservoir sites considered in this

Study are summarized in Table 4.3. Although the location of Wolford Site A' is

different from that of Site A as specified in the water right decree, for this analysis it

was assumed that Site A' had the same priority date as Site A. There are other

conditional rights in the vicinity which if transferred may increase the yield of the

Muddy Creek sites.
