The following table identifies two of the larger rights <br />within this group. In addition to those categories described above, the water rights <br />that were not modeled are expected to include ditches which may currently divert but <br />were not tied to irrigated land during the 1993 survey. They might be added if the <br />irrigated acreage data is updated. <br /> <br />Ditch <br /> <br />430809 Meeker Power <br />Ditch <br /> <br />430888 Rainbow Lake <br />Ditch <br /> <br />Decree (cfs) <br />161.88 <br /> <br />Comment <br />No longer operational <br /> <br />31.75 <br /> <br />Non Consumptive <br /> <br />· Although not all water rights are included, the Phase III model does estimate 100% of <br />the consumptive use by irrigation in the basin. This is because all irrigated lands <br />identified in the 1993 survey are included. Sub tasks 2.10 and 2.11 describe how <br />100% of the municipal, industrial and storage water use are included in the Phase III <br />model. <br /> <br />fu=lwlstatemlwhitet\word\mm205.doc <br /> <br />3 <br />
