The decree from the Division 5 water <br />court in this case allows a call on virtually all of the stream's water 24 hours a day for <br />recreational uses, which is certainly unreasonable, wasteful and inefficient. <br />This Court must also determine whether it is reasonable to allow an appropriator to call a <br />water right for boating during non - seasonal months in Colorado because there is a discrepancy <br />between the Division 1 and Division 5 water courts. In the Vail and Breckenridge Whitewater <br />cases, there is a limit to the months of use ail Decree, Exhibit G). In the Golden case, there <br />are no limits on the months of use. Further, this Court must determine on a broader basis <br />whether it is reasonable to allow an appropriator to call a water right for boating during winter <br />months in Colorado. <br />CONCLUSION <br />The judgment of the water court should be reversed in all respects and the application <br />dismissed. <br />Dated this 17th` day of January 2003. <br />KEN SALAZAR <br />Attorney General <br />STUSAN SCHNEIDER, 19961* <br />Assistant Attorney General <br />Water Rights Unit <br />Natural Resources and Environment Section <br />Attorneys for State of Colorado <br />*Counsel of Record <br />AG ALPHA: NR WE IAMNO <br />AG File: BRECKAPPEAL.DOC <br />21 <br />
