Make Water
Survey Here
Oravetz Explains Need
OF Completing Records
On Voter Use In State

Gerald ]. Oravetz. assistant
state engineer in charge OF a
water resource survey now be-
ing made in Big Horn county,
has issued the following state
ment in explanation Of the need
for the work:
AS many people in Big Horn
county are not familiar with
the survey now being conducted
this explanation is being writ
ten to try to give the water
users in this area and others
that are affected by the use of
water a brief outline for the
need of this survey.
The water right laws Of
Montana. while sufficient for
the needs for the early develop
ment of the state, are out of
date as compared with our
neighboring states from the
standpoint of records. 1t is
therefore necessary that We
compile these records in Mon
tana to protect the rights of our
water users and to get complete
and accurate figures as to our
present and potential needs and
also to get a complete picture
of the problems that confront
our water users.
The only record required by
the present law is the filing of
a copy of the notice posted at
the point of diversion (Sec.
71O2, revised codes of Montana
of 1885, originally enacted as
Sec. 8, page 1872, session laws
of 1880. However, many ap-
preparations were made previous
to the enactment of this law
and while Sec. 7103 states that
persons who have heretofore
acquired rights to the use OF
water shall. Within six months
after publication of this chap
ter, file in the office of the
county clerk of the county in
which the water right is situa-

heretofore acquired rights or
prevent any such claimant from
establishing such rights in the
courts.
Thus we have in Montana
water rights which have been
acquired through various meth
DDS of procedure, viz: Cd app

ord as to date of appropriation
or extent of use; (2) posting

livered. under the right, a rec
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1945-10-25

ord which is kept only by the
clerk of the court.
ITO further add to the con-
fusion caused by the lack OF
uniformity of records is the
fact that many of the streams
on which water rights have
been acquired flow through
several counties and the rec
ords available in any county do
not show the number OF extent
of water rights in adjoining
and more distant counties. Then
600, much of our early settle
ment was done before our
lands were surveyed and the
appropriation gave the name of
the stream, such as Cotton
wood creek, Spring creek, Will
low creek and so forth. Streams
by these common names are
known throughout the state.
Because Of the lack of the le-
gal description, no definite
place of use was given, and
many of these records were
lost in the creation of counties:
therefore we have no definite
record of them. To further
complicate the situation. our
most important streams are in
terState streams and sooner or
later we must face the prob
lem of amicably and fairly di-
vidfng the water of these
streams between states con-
cerned. At present, federal ag-
encies have pans for vast de-
velopment of our water re-
sources in this area. The plan
ming Of new development re-
quires a careful compilation of
all existing water rights under
each of the three classificationS
described in each county which
the stream flows in order to
protect our present water users.
In spite of all the care in
giving consideration to water
rights, expansion of present ir-
rigated areas has resulted in
much litigation. Adjudications
have been made at enormous
cost. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been spent in ad-
Indication proceedings, an d
many cases are still in court.
1T is the belief of many
that much of this water right
litigation is the result of ig-
norance rather than willful at
tempts to interfere with the
rights of others. Had the pro-
cedure for acquiring water
rights been standardized the
administration of water rights
been by the state rather than
by the counties and a complete
record kept from the beginning
much of the controversy ano
expense incidental to litigation
could have been prevented.
Recognizing the problem and
the need for something to bt
done about it, the 1899 STATE
legislature enacted a law which
provided that the state engin.
eer conduct investigations tx

the state engineer to carry out

county officials, the Agricult-
ural Conservation office, De-
partment of Interior, Indian
service, Soil Conservation ser
vice and the Bureau of Recla-
nation.
The state engineers office
is now making an extension
survey of all irrigable lands
present and potential under
existing facilities. These areas
are being mapped to show the
extent of irrigation, source of
supply and acreage under each
ditch system. When this work
is completed the maps will be
made available to those in the
county who will have use for
them. Also a complete and &C
curate record of all existing
water rights will be made.
In addition, a report will be
prepared giving a complete
write-up of the most import
ant facts pertaining to water
rights, history of them and a
complete tabulation of present
ard potential irrigable lands.
Such information is of primary

"A similar survey has been
