The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 63

11.—Supply of Water may be Reduced

11.—Supply of Water may be Reduced.

When the supply of water from any creek or stream shall be insufficient for the use of all the holders of water rights thereon, it shall be lawful for the Warden, upon adequate cause being shown, to reduce the quantity, in due and equal proportion, which the said holders shall be entitled to draw therefrom, and to regulate the time and mode in which such water may be used.

Provided that nothing herein contained shall be deemed or taken to affect the rights of the holder or holders of a first water-right hereafter granted on any stream; but such holder or holders shall at all times be entitled to the lull supply of water for which he or they shall be registered.
