The name of the United States of America acting through the Bureau of Reclamation appears in the Name and Address sections of this partial decree. However, as a matter of Idaho Constitutional and Statutory Law, title to the use of the water is held by the consumers or users of the water. The irrigation organizations act on behalf of the consumers or users to administer the use of the water for the landowners in the quantities and/or percentages specified in the contracts between the Bureau of Reclamation and the irrigation organizations for the benefit of the landowners entitled to receive distribution of this water from the respective irrigation organizations. The interest of the consumers or users of the water is appurtenant to the lands within the boundaries of or served by such irrigation organizations, and that interest is derived from law and is not based exclusively on the contracts between the Bureau of Reclamation and the irrigation organizations.
C18
This partial decree is subject to such general provisions necessary for the definition of the rights or for the efficient administration of the water rights as may be ultimately determined by the Court at a point in time no later than the entry of a final unified decree. Section 42-1412(6), Idaho Code.
Water right nos. 63-303, 63-3613, 63-3614, 63-3618, 63-33734A, and 63-33734B are limited to the total combined annual diversion volume necessary to allocate a total of 1,044,011 acre-feet of storage water per year to the consumers or users of the storage water.
The annual time period for accruing natural flow to the on-stream reservoir storage water rights in IDWR administrative Basin 63 will be determined by the Watermaster as supervised by the Director of the Department of Water Resources; provided however, the annual time period will begin (1) day after the day of allocation and when there is no natural flow available to water rights junior in priority to January 12, 1911, and (2) before natural flow has again become available to water rights junior in priority to January 12, 1911, or November 1, whichever is earlier.
