WHAT CONSTITUTES
BENEFICIAL USE OF
WATER IN IRRIGATION

Under the laws of water rights, as
established by legislation and court
DEGREES in the arid states of the west,
the final test OF a right to water for
Irrigation Is that the water claimed
shall be put to beneficial use. AS
expressed by the laws Of several states
'beneiicial use is the basis, the mea-
sure. and the limit" of rights to water
These laws. however, do not attemp
to define beneficial use"
AT conference OF the project man
ayers of the United States Reclama-
ton Service and Representatives Of
the Department of Agriculture, held al
Salt Lake City. November 1915. a
resolution attempting such definition
was adopted. This definition is some
what long and detailed, but in sub
stance Is as follows:
A water user is entitled to that
amount OF water that will render him
a reasonable maximum amount Of good
with reasonable, economic handling
of the water" He Is entitled to the
protection OF the state In this right,
but In return the state has right to
demand that he use reasonable care
and judgment In conveying and using
water and cultivating his crops.
The conference adopted also def
milton of economical use" which was
In substance as follows:
Since the water supply available for
irrigation In the western states is ade-
quate- for only relatively small per-
centage of the entire irrigable acreage,
the fundamental standard Of economi-
cal use must be the financial results
accomplished per acre-foot of water
applied, rather than the yield per acre
irrigated. In future development the
doctrine OF beneficial use must In
many cases merge into or be supplant-
ed by that of economic use. The doc
trine of beneficial use looks to indi-
vidual interest, that of economic use
to the general welfare Of society as a
whole. So far as possible water
charges, systems of distribution and
regulations should be 30 adjusted as
to make the interest of the individual
water user coincide with this public
interest.
