Water rights 34-13665, 34-14299, and 34-14301 mitigate for the depletion of water resulting from the diversion and use of water under water right 34-7511.
Ground water recharge is accomplished by diverting water under this right into an infiltration area that allows water to percolate into the underlying aquifer. To prevent the unauthorized above ground storage of water, the amount of water diverted and used for recharge under this right shall not exceed the actual infiltration capacity.
The right holder shall not receive any carryover credit from one year to the next for any volume of surface water recharged under water rights 34-13665, 34-14299, and 34-14301.
Ground water shall not be diverted under water right 34-7511 until an equivalent amount of surface water has been diverted into the recharge site under water rights 34-13665, 34-14299, and 34-14301 in the same year. The volume of ground water that may be diverted for irrigation under water right 34-7511 in any irrigation season shall not exceed the volume of surface water diverted into the recharge site during the same year.

R43
The right holder shall maintain a measuring device and lockable controlling works of a type approved by the Department in a manner that will provide the watermaster suitable control of the diversion(s).
Prior to the diversion and use of water under Transfer 83703, the right holder shall install and maintain an acceptable measuring device at the point of delivery into the infiltration area used for ground water recharge, in accordance with Department specifications to determine the amount of water recharged annually and shall report the diversion volume to the Department by December 31 each year.
