reservoir waters

When the owner of a reservoir desires to use the bed of a stream or other
watercourse for the purpose of carrying water from the reservoir to the consumer, he
shall in writing notify the water superintendent of the district in which the water is to
be used, giving the date when it is desired to discharge water from the reservoir, its
volume, and the names of all persons and ditches entitled to its use. The superintendent
shall supervise the opening of the reservoir gates and close or adjust the head gates of
all ditches from the watercourse not entitled to the use of the stored water so that
persons having the right will receive the water to which they are entitled.
