State Water Code Is
Comprehensive
Planned to Provide an Equitable
Distribution of Water Rights

The main purposes of the new
Arizona water code, passed by the
as1t legislature, are the protection
of vested and initiated rights to the
users of water, protection of the
interests of the public in the water
supplies, and encouragement for
the highest possible development
OF such supplies.
Arizona, like fifteen other west
ern states, will have one central
office, where land owners and in
vestors will be able to ascertain the
extent Of stream flow in any water
shed and the existing rights to its
use. The Office of State Water
Commissioner is created, and TN
usually great authority is vested N
the office, but provision is made for
the right Of appeal IN all cases to
the superior courts. The commls-
sioner is appointed for a long term,
six years, and it is hoped that the
state water department will be and
; will remain absolutely free from
politics for all time.
In the provision for the adjudi-
cation Of all existing water rights,
the code follows closely the Oregon
method, which is based on the
Wyoming law, but with certain
fundamental improvements. After
the accumulation of the data need
ed for the determination of water
rights on watershed, and after
hearings of contests the commits
sioner will prepare an order of de-
termination, showing priority and
extaat.of each wates right. This
order will be filed in the superior
court, where additional hearings
will be held before the order is af-
hrmed by the court, but the order
of the commissioner shall be in
full force and effect from the date
of it's entry in the records of his
Office.
For supervision over the distri-
button of water, the state is divided
into water districts, each with a
water superintendent and assist
ants. In general, the code permits
the supervision to extend down to
the individual water users, but on
account of the opposition of GER
tain valleys in which court DEGREES
have already been obtained, all de-
creed rights are to be recognized
in toto, and such rights are to be
Incorporated into the orders of de-
termination covering entire water
sheds. The only objection to this
is that in some cases excessive
rates of flow have been decreed
