Indiana § 14-25-2-1

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 25: WATER RIGHTS AND RESOURCES
• Ch. 2: Minimum Stream Flow and Water Sale Contracts

Text

(a) Except as provided in section 8 of this
chapter, the commission may provide certain minimum quantities of
stream flow or sell water on a unit pricing basis for water supply
purposes from the water supply storage in reservoir impoundments or
parts of the impoundments that are financed by the state. The water
may be made available for direct withdrawal from the reservoir
impoundment or released from the reservoir impoundment to create
increased flowage beyond normal stream flow for use by the
contracting party or purchaser at a downstream point. The withdrawals
or releases may not exceed the storage allocated to water supply
purposes in the authorizing legislation for water supply or multiple
purpose reservoir projects.
(b) This section does not abrogate, limit, or affect in any manner
prior or future sales of water from reservoirs constructed for or by the
department in which adequate water for incidental water supply
purposes is available.
