Availability of Unappropriated Water

This section provides a description of the availability of unappropriated water in those stream systems which may become fully appropriated between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019.

County	Stream System	Description
Nevada, Placer, Sierra	Lake Tahoe and Truckee River Basin	Water Rights Decision 1651 provides that the State Water Board should administer water rights with a view towards assuring that water use is consistent with the Interstate Settlement Act (Act). Under provisions of the Act, the Truckee River Operating Agreement has taken effect. Due to the uncertainty regarding the amount of water that will be made available for California water rights, applications in the stream system will be required to perform a water availability analysis to show that water is available for that project.

If a registration is filed with a source of supply on a stream system listed above, the registration will not take effect unless the Division finds that unappropriated water is available for the appropriation proposed in the registration. If the Division finds that unappropriated water is not available to supply the appropriation proposed in the registration, the stream system will be considered for inclusion on the State Water Board’s Declaration of Fully Appropriated Stream Systems.

Water Code section 1205 et seq. provides that the State Water Board, following notice and hearing and upon making specified findings, may adopt, revise, or revoke a declaration that a stream system is fully appropriated. Upon inclusion of a stream system on such a declaration, the State Water Board thereafter is prohibited from accepting for filing any application to appropriate water by permit or registration with a source of supply on the stream system, except that the declaration may specify conditions and limitations under which the State Water Board will accept the filing of applications and registrations.

The State Water Board’s current Declaration of Fully Appropriated Stream Systems is contained in Order WR 98-08 and is available at: https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/waterrights/water_issues/programs/fully_appropriated_streams/
