72-5A-9. Storage account to be established; limit on amount of water recovered.
The state engineer shall establish a storage account for each project. If the project has stored water from more than one source, he shall establish subaccounts for each source of water. A permittee may recover only the recoverable amount of stored water from a well. For purposes of this section, "recoverable amount" means that amount of water, as determined by the state engineer, that has reached the aquifer, remained within the area of hydrologic effect and is conducive to recovery without impairment to existing uses.
