Sec. 418.34  Valid headgate deliveries.

    Project water may be delivered to headgates only as provided in 
Secs. 418.8 and 418.10. Water delivered to lands that are not entitled 
to be irrigated or not in accord with decreed water duties is difficult 
to quantify at best because it is not typically measured. Since it is 
not likely to be a part of the total actual headgate deliveries, yet is 
a part of the total deliveries to the Project, it will manifest itself 
directly as a lower efficiency. Thus, it will either reduce the 
District's incentive credit or increase the storage debit by the amount 
improperly diverted. All other users outside the Project are thereby 
held harmless but the District incurs the consequence. This approach 
should eliminate any potential disputes between the District and the 
Bureau regarding the quantity of water misappropriated.
