Over appropriation was a basis for HB 485 in 2012, and SB 109 in 2013. Where is the data to support the legislative purpose of HB 485, and SB 109? Where can the public find over appropriation data on the Division of Water Right website broken down by the 49 areas or by water basins?

For example, how must wet water in acre-feet is in Salt Lake Area 57? How much paper water in acre-feet is approved for use in Salt Lake Area 57? How much paper water in acre-feet is unapproved in pending applications to appropriate is in Salt Lake Area 57? How much water is actually used in Salt Lake Area 57?

How many acre-feet are we over appropriated in Salt Lake Area 57 and in all areas?
