That pursuant to an order entered by this Court commanding ~he State Engineer to certify to the Clerk the true and complete list of all filings of claims for appropriation of water for irrigation or other benefici~l uses or purposes within Water District No. 36, the State Engineer did prepare, forward, and certi­ fy to the Clerk of this Court, a list of all such filings and claims, in conformity with said order, which said list did show the name or names of the ditches, reservoirs, and other means of appropriation, the names and post office addresses of the claimants, and the names and addresses of any persons who appear on the records of the _State Engineer as the last grantees of the original claimants. That per­ sonal service of notice of this application was duly made upon all parties entitled to such notice, including all claimants and owners of ditches and reservoirs whose claims appear of record and all persons who use or claim water from the Blue_Ri~~r and its tribu­ taries in Water District No. 36 ..

The Court finds that the amount of water hereby un- conditionally awarded to the several ditches, reservoirs and structures and to the several priorities connected with said ditches, reservoirs and structures has been beneficially applied and used for purposes of irrigation in connection with said ditches, reser­ voirs and structures. That the amount of water hereby awarded and decreed to the several ditches, reservoirs and structures is necessary and essential for purposes of irrigation and from the evidence submitted in this case said amount of water has been appro- priated and beneficially used or as to ditches, reservoirs and structures to which conditional decrees are awarded it is the in- tention of claimant to make beneficial use with due diligence and within a re~sonable time. 3. The Court finds that by reason of the application of said quantities of water so awarded to the several ditches, reser- voirs and structures to a beneficial use therethrough or thereby, the appropriators, claimants and parties lawfully entitled thereto, have acquired a vested property right to the use of such water under the Constitution and the laws of the State of Colorado and of the Constitution of the of America • . 4. The Court finds that nothing herein contained shall be held, deemed or construed to change the date of appropriation or volume or quantity of' water appropriated or the time of appro­ priation or the manner of use, or to in any other way change or modif'y or adversely affect decrees of this Court heretofore entered. The Court, in this connection, further finds that the several appropriations of water to each and every ditch herein specifically Judgment and Decree Page 4 tion purposes appear from the evidence submitted herein to have been continuously used and beneficially applied in the irrigation of lands thereunder and said decrees so far as they relate to the use of water for purposes of irrigation are recognized and acknowledged as prior valid decrees and the same shall be and are hereby ratified and confirmed so far as they relate to the use of water for purposes of irrigation. 5. The Court further finds that all ditches, reser- voirs and structures are, under the evidence submitted in this case, entitled to priority rights in amounts equal to or greate~ · than the amounts herein awarded relating back to a date as early or earlier in every instance than the date fixed by this decree. The Court further finds that under the evidence sub- mitted in this case all of the ditches and structures herein mentioned have a carrying capacity sufficient to carry the water adjudicated to said ditches and structures by absolute de- crees herein and that the reservoirs have a sufficient storage capacity to store the water adjudicated to said reservoirs by absolute decrees herein. That as to all ditches, reservoirs and other structures to which conditional decrees have been awarded it is the intention of the respective claimants to apply the water so conditionally used to a beneficial use with due diligence and with in a reasonable length of time and said conditional decrees are expressly awarded on said basis. 6. The Co urt finds that the evidence submi tted herein with respect to the claim of the South Platte Water JUDGMENTs AND DECBEE

Users• Association is and was insufficient to justify the Court in entering any decree herein in favor thereof, or assigning any ditch, reservoir, canal, structure or priority number, either absolute or conditional, and no findings or determination whatsoever are herein made with respect to the claim statement herein filed by said South ' Platte Water Users• Association, except to deny the claim and app],ication ma.de thereunder for an adjudication of any right or rights to the appropriation, u~e a~d diversion of water therein or thereby in this proceeding. 7.

12. The Court further finds that , owing to the peculiar nature of the soil irrigated by many of the ditches in Water District No. 36, the presence of coarse gravel and glacial deposits under a comparatively thin top soil, the use of water on mesas adjacent to the Blue River, the ease with which water escapes through the bottom and sides of the ditches, many of which are constructed along side hills or steep terrain, and the readiness with which water escapes into and under the soil during the process of irrigation, no definite ratio for the use of water can be established because the duty of water varies greatly in different locations and with different formations and ditches, and, therefore, the amount awarded i n this decree is based on dem­ onstrated, established facts and actual proof of the necessities of the several claimants. Evidence has discl osed and established that remunerative crops are produced each year with a sufficient supply of water but that without t he amount of water which has Judgment a~d Decree Page 19 profit. That the ditches involved -here~n are entitled to a decree and priority right for the quantity of water necessary to profit­ ably produce crops without unnecessary waste and such is the amount hereby awarded. 13. The Court finds that the numbers of the respective appropriations for storage purposes and reservoirs upon which proof has been offered in this proceeding, the numbers of said reservoirs, the names of said reservoirs, the volume to which same are entitled, measured either in cubic feet or acre feet, the stream or source from which the respective reservoirs derive their supply of water, the date of appropriation, and whether by original construction or enlargement, are as follows, to-wit:
