Text

The holder or owner of an adjudicated water right to the direct
use of the natural unstored flow of any surface stream of the
state may store such direct flow so long as no other Wyoming
appropriator or user is injured or affected thereby. Prior to
the commencement of the storage of water under a direct flow
water right, the appropriator shall submit a request for such
storage in writing to the state engineer and shall obtain the
approval of the state board of control. The state board of
control may permit storage at any time so long as there is no
interference with existing water rights or uses. The state
engineer is authorized and empowered to prescribe such rules and
regulations as may be necessary or desirable to enable him to
effectively administer the provisions of this section.
