For example, refer to Figure A-l, a map of the1 <br /> <br /> <br />South Platte River Basin within Colorado and the sixteen former <br /> <br /> <br />water districts into which the South Platte River Basin was and <br /> <br /> <br />is divided for various purposes. Refer also to Figure 2, the <br /> <br /> <br />Division Engineer's record of Division I calls for the year 1952. <br /> <br /> <br />Note the first call for 1952, a call which was issued on "5-9." ' <br /> <br /> <br />The priority date of the calling water right, 11-20-85, is given' <br /> <br /> <br />under the column, "Shut Off priorities Post-Dating:." This par- <br /> <br /> <br />ticular r$cord also identifies the calling water right as the <br /> <br /> <br />Burlington Ditch. This water right, which was entitled to diver\ <br /> <br /> <br />water under its decreed priority, did not have a sufficient <br /> <br /> <br />amount of water physically available at its point of diversion on <br /> <br /> <br />May 9, 1952, to satisfy either its present need for water or the' <br /> <br /> <br />full amount of water to which it was entitled under its <br /> <br /> <br />appropriation. The "x" in Column 7, 8, 9, and 23 under "Cards <br /> <br /> <br />Sent to Districts" indicates that the call for water was placed <br /> <br /> <br />against Water users in Water Districts, Nos. 7, 8, 9, and 23. <br /> <br /> <br />Referring again to Figure A-2, one notes that on 5-16 the <br /> <br /> <br />call against Water Districts 7, 8, 9, and 23 decreased in its <br /> <br /> <br />severity to 5-31-07 (the Riverside water right in Water District <br /> <br /> <br />1). For whatever reasons may have applied, the 11-20-1885 water: <br /> <br /> <br />right whieh had placed a call some seven days before, on 5-9, ha~ <br /> <br /> <br />apparently received a satisfactory supply of water. The Water <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner took the ll-20-l885 call off and placed a less <br /> <br /> <br />severe call of 5-3l-07 on Water Districts 7, 8, 9, and 23. <br /> <br /> <br />The fact that the Water Commissioner or Division Engineer <br /> <br /> <br />placed a call of 11-20-1885 against water users in Water Distri~ts <br /> <br /> <br />A-2 <br /> <br />",.& <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />c <br />
