Title: Diversions, Return Flow, and 

Consumptive Use of Colorado River 

Water in the Lower Colorado River 

Basin. 

OMB No.: OMB No. 1006–0015. 

Abstract: Reclamation delivers 

Colorado River water to water users for 

diversion and beneficial consumptive 

use in the States of Arizona, California, 

and Nevada. The Consolidated Decree of 

the United States Supreme Court in the 

case of Arizona v. California, et al., 

entered March 27, 2006, (547 U.S. 150 

(2006)) requires the Secretary of the 

Interior to prepare and maintain 

complete, detailed, and accurate records 

of diversions of water, return flow, and 

consumptive use and make these 

records available at least annually. This 

information is needed to ensure that a 

State or a water user within a State does 

not exceed its authorized use of 

Colorado River water. Water users are 

obligated by provisions in their water 

delivery contracts to provide 

Reclamation information on diversions 

and return flows. Reclamation 

determines the consumptive use by 

subtracting return flow from diversions 

or by other engineering means. Without 

the information collected, Reclamation 

could not comply with the order of the 

United States Supreme Court to prepare 

and maintain detailed and accurate 

records of diversions, return flow, and 

consumptive use. 

Description of Respondents: The 

respondents will include the Lower 

Basin States (Arizona, California, and 

Nevada), local and tribal entities, water 

districts, and individuals that use 

Colorado River water.

otherwise as determined by the 

Secretary of the Interior.
