How does one place a call for their <br />water right? <br />•In order for the water commissioner to honor a call several requirements <br />must be met: <br />o The water diverted must be measured (i.e. there must be an operable <br />measuring device) and the amount of water being diverted must be <br />less than that amount decreed to the water right for which the call is <br />being placed. <br />o There must be a water tight dam at the point of diversion (unless <br />there is reservoir water that must be delivered by the water <br />commissioner past this point – in which case an operable headgate is <br />required). <br />o There must be junior water rights being diverted upstream to curtail. <br />o The water right being called for must be applied to its decreed <br />beneficial use and place of use. <br />o The water diverted must be applied to beneficial use without waste.
