"W~ <br /> <br />HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br />As a matter of history and the development of this li~itation, <br /> <br />in the fall of 1963 the Arkansas Valley Ditch Association proposed <br />that the following clause be included in the Model transfer decree: <br /> <br />Petitioner1s storace of "later in Trinidad <br />F;eservoi r shell be reculated in such a jJ,anner <br />'thet the volume of water Dassino their .former <br />Dcin~ of ~iversion on the Las Animas, or <br />Purgatoire River shall re:7iain and be th~ sar::e, <br />in botn valur:1e and time, as it "JOul.:! have been <br />had ~ .cor:tinued to use the'ir foo.ner olace <br />of staraae and had not traf:sferred their place <br />of storage in this proceeding.
