The source data were acquired on October 26, 2005. The source data is primarily used by the Division of Water Rights as a complete record of point of diversion locations. These data are presented in the current form in support of the Basin and Range Carbonate Aquifer System Study (BARCAS). Locations in the data set have been computed from information submitted with water right applications. The location data is of varied quality including both map scaled and field surveyed information. The locations recorded in the database are actually offsets from a Public Land Survey Section Monument. They are converted to UTM coordinates using calculations against a database of PLS monuments originally extracted from a digitized 1:24000 RSPLS coverage. The monument database is updated with more precise coordinates as they become available including field GPS surveyed locations. Improved monument locations will in turn benefit the quality of the WRPOD point locations in this coverage with time since location values are re-calculated each week. The source shapefile is considered a complete record of point of diversion locations taken from the Division's day to day operating database. The database is a complete record with the following exceptions: 1) The Division's point of diversion referencing policy includes a provision which allows some point of diversion locations to be described more as areas (Point-to-Point Filings) than discrete points. Point to point filings are usually limited to stock watering rights. They are represented in the WRPOD shapefile by a discrete point which is located within the area covered by the point to point description. 2) Utah State Law required applications to divert surface water to be filed with the State Engineer after 1903 and groundwater after 1935. There may be existing diversions which began prior to those dates which are not included in the Division of Water Right records. The Division becomes aware of these rights and includes these rights in it's records when the user submits a statement of water user claim either pursuant to an adjudication or to establish there is a water right under which the State Engineer is to take action. 3) Data in the Division of Water Rights database was entered over an eight year period from paper files maintained by the office. Data entered in the database has been subsuquently verified by staff. However, errors are occasionally detected in the database as a result of entry operations either from current staff activities or the original entry project. The Division makes an ongoing effort to maintain the database free of errors and omissions, however users of the data are responsible to verify it is suitable for their purpose. The Division appreciates and encourages users to promptly disclose any inconsistencies detected in the data to Division staff who will make every effort to correct any errors discovered. The attribute items contained in the source shapefile do not represent all of the water right information available for a particular water right filing. 20051026 ground condition Complete None planned -114.092442 -113.465649 39.930436 37.961622 none Well Abandoned Well Underground water source Utah points of diversion Utah water rights Utah State Engineers office inlandWaters Basin and Range Carbonate-rock Aquifer System Utah Requests for the data should be directed to the source data at http://waterrights.utah.gov/gisinfo/wrcover.asp.
