41-3-612. Rotation among water users; approval of commissioner.
(a) To bring about a more economical use of the available water supply, it is lawful for water users owning lands to which are attached water rights, to rotate in the use of supply to which they may be collectively entitled, or a single water user, having lands to which water rights of a different priority attach, may in like manner rotate in use, provided that all water rights subject to rotation are in priority. Rotation of water will be allowed only if it can be accomplished without injury to other appropriators.
(b) Prior to the commencement of any rotation in the use of water pursuant to this section, the owner or owners of the water rights to be rotated shall file a notice of intention to rotate with the appropriate water commissioner, on the form provided for that purpose by the commissioner, and shall obtain the water commissioner's written approval which shall be endorsed on the form.
(c) Performance of the rotation shall be enforced by the water commissioner in accordance with the terms and conditions included in the form signed and approved by the water commissioner. The state engineer may adopt such rules and regulations as are necessary for him to efficiently administer this section.
