<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>GIS layer showing locations for Places of Use (POUs) for active water rights in Idaho. POUs represent areas where water can be used from a live flow, either surface water or ground water (springs, stream or well), and put to beneficial use under a water right. A water right must have at least one use, and may have many uses. Uses may be consumptive, such as irrigation or domestic, or non-consumptive, such as power or instream flow. Polygons depicting POUs were initially developed from the PLSS descriptions on the water right documents, such as quarter quarters and government lots. Some POUs have been digitized using aerial imagery. POU locations are continuously being updated as better locational information becomes available. A water right can be in one or more of six process or stages: (1) Application for a new water right or transfer; (2) Permit for applicant to develop the water use; (3) License through which the Idaho Department of Water Resources has approved final configuration and amounts; (4) Claim for a water right or beneficial use which has been claimed in an adjudication; (5) Recommendation, the determination of final configuration and amount of a Claim that, when approved by the court, is decreed and supersedes its License, if one previously existed; (6) Transfer of a portion of the WR or claim, generally through a change of ownership splitting the right, or change in one or more elements of the water right or claim. This layer represents process or stage (4): Claim for a water right or beneficial use which has been claimed in an adjudication.</SPAN></P><P /></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
