A water Commissioner for Water District 23, for instarice!, upon receiving a call of 11-20-1885 from the Water Commissioner of District 2, may simply curtail diversions by the users of the most junior water rights in District 23 so as to provide addi- tional wat.er to the calling 11-20-1885 water right. He may then continue ~o curtail usage in his district until the calling wate~ right is ,atisfied and its call eliminated. The reader should notice from Figure A-2 the omission of an~ mention of Water Districts 49, 65, 76, and 48. The streams in these districts do not contribute water directly to the main ste~ of the South Platte River within the State of Colorado. Rather" streams in these water districts flow directly out of Colorado. Thus, a hydrologic connection between the South Platte River, per se, a~d the streams in these four districts does not exist.. Consequent.ly, the Division Engineer for Water Division 1 does ndt administet these four districts as a part of the main stem of tbe South Plat.te River, and he keeps no call records for these four districts' as a part of his administration of the main stem of t1'l!e South Pla~te River.
