Colorado Statutes
§ 37-86-113 — Irrigation of meadows
All persons who have enjoyed the use of
the water in any natural stream for the irrigation of any meadow land by the natural
overflow or operation of the water of such stream, in case the diminishing of the
water supplied by such stream, from any cause, prevents such irrigation therefrom
in as ample a manner as formerly, shall have right to construct a ditch for the
irrigation of such meadow and to take water from such stream therefor. Their right
to water through such ditch shall have the same priority as though such ditch had
been constructed at the time they first occupied and used such land as meadow
ground.
