<br />( <br /> <br />" <br />\, <br /> <br />Under most state statutes an appropriator of water may use the same <br /> <br />for other purposes than origin'ally appropriated. <br /> <br />In North Dakota, the Bureau of Reclamation holds an approved <br /> <br />application (Permit No. 1416, dated February 9, 1967) for the <br /> <br />diversion of 3,145,000 acre-feet of water annually, from Lake Sakulw.wea <br /> <br />(8,850 c.r-s.), the Souris River (3,000 c.f.s.), and the Sheycnne River <br /> <br />(1,200 c.f.s.) and the James River (1,830 c.f.s.) for irrigation, <br /> <br />mWlicipal and industrial, fish und wildlife, and other uses authorized <br /> <br />lmder the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program. The fedcral government <br /> <br />holds no other st'"te-validated water rights for the use of water flm,ing <br /> <br />into la~e Sakakauea or the North Dekota portion of Oahe Reservoir. <br /> <br />o..:nership of imponnrled or storaGe \later, uncler state validated \later <br /> <br />rir:;hts, is vested in the O\mer of the impoundml"ot or storage \lorks. <br /> <br />In 2 Y.inney, Irril\ation and "later Ri[\htr., 1484-11+(\5 (2d D:1. 1912), <br /> <br />the author states: <br /> <br />"After \later has been once stored in reservoirs, it becomes personal <br />proper~y, and may be sold, contracted for, and disposed of as su~h <br />properto'. It is protected in such reservoirs bo' the statutes of the <br />various States, providing that the stealing of water fro~ a canal, <br />ditch, or other works is n criminal offense, and also providing for <br />the punishment therefor." <br /> <br />A like opinion is expressed in Hiel, S.C., ~later:,'ni[\hts In I'lestern <br /> <br />States, third Ed." Vol. 1, Sec. 35, p. 33. <br /> <br />'IStorage \latersll are those waters which accrue to t he storage water <br /> <br />right. In SaClth Dakota, under the state statutes above cited, "storage <br /> <br />waters" arc all those waters which can be beneficially used in the <br /> <br />generation of PO\ler. In Montana, under the Bailey v. Tintinger rule <br /> <br />cited, "storaGe waters" accruing to the United States at Fort Peck are all <br /> <br />the water needed for pOlier generation purpOSE:S, up to the 19,100,000 acre- <br /> <br />feet capacity of the Fort Peck Reservoir, plus any 8,dditional waters which <br /> <br />would othenrise go to "mste. <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br />I:~ <br />
