2 <br />Introduction <br />This yearly publication provides select statistical data of surface water use and ground water well <br />application and permitting activity representing the seven major river basins in the state. Please <br />note that the data reported in this publication does not in all instances, reflect the full account of all <br />water use throughout the state. For more detailed information please contact your local Division <br />Engineer’s Office. <br />This year’s report includes yearly tabular data for irrigation years 2007 through 2011. We have <br />significantly upgraded the diversion and use reporting data system and this annual statistical report <br />includes additional uses on pages 3 – 7 that were not reported in older versions of this report. <br />Totals in tabular and graphic diversion data also include non-consumptive uses such as power <br />generation, recreation and minimum stream flows that inflate total values of water consumptively <br />used. <br />As in previous reports, statistics on the number of well permit applications received by county and <br />the major uses for the year 2011, as well as the number of wells completed by county and the <br />primary uses through December 31, 2011, are also included.
