2021 Colorado Code|Title 37 - Water and Irrigation|Article 75 - Interbasin Compacts|§ 37-75-102. Water Rights - Protections

  It is the policy of the general assembly that the current system of allocating water within Colorado shall not be superseded, abrogated, or otherwise impaired by this article. Nothing in this article shall be interpreted to repeal or in any manner amend the existing water rights adjudication system. The general assembly affirms the state constitution's recognition of water rights as a private usufructuary property right, and this article is not intended to restrict the ability of the holder of a water right to use or to dispose of that water right in any manner permitted under Colorado law.    The general assembly affirms the protections for contractual and property rights recognized by the contract and takings protections under the state constitution and related statutes. This article shall not be implemented in any way that would diminish, impair, or cause injury to any property or contractual right created by intergovernmental agreements, contracts, stipulations among parties to water cases, terms and conditions in water decrees, or any other similar document related to the allocation or use of water. This article shall not be construed to supersede, abrogate, or cause injury to vested water rights or decreed conditional water rights. The general assembly affirms that this article does not impair, limit, or otherwise affect the rights of persons or entities to enter into agreements, contracts, or memoranda of understanding with other persons or entities relating to the appropriation, movement, or use of water under other provisions of law.

ANNOTATION   The state engineer and those working under him act within their authority in regulating the waters stored in the reservoirs and, whenever it is made to appear that a reservoir interferes with the use by prior appropriators of such water, their authority extends to requiring that such waters be released for application to proper beneficial use by such appropriators. Cline v. Whitten, 150 Colo. 179 , 372 P.2d 145 (1962).   The accuracy and completeness of the reports required by this section will constitute their value, and under this section, therefore, the commissioner must do enough work to answer the demands of the state engineer, and that seems to require him at least to be able to state at all times the amount of water being taken from the public streams in his district.
