Consistent with Law. This application is one contemplated and authorized by law, and <br />this Court has exclusive jurisdiction over the subject matter of this proceeding. C.R.S. <br />§§ 37 -92 -203 and 37 -92 -302. <br />18. Change of Water Rights. The changes of water rights requested by Applicant are <br />permissible and are contemplated by law and satisfy the requirements of § 37 -92 -101, <br />et seq., C.R.S.
