Water Right Evaluation and Analysis
Applegate Group’s professional staff members are experienced at completing historical consumptive use analysis of water rights, evaluating stream depletions, and evaluating recharge potential. We have extensive experience relating to the development of water within Colorado’s water law system and have been involved with river administration, legal activities, and other developments within various river basins throughout the state.
Our staff has been recognized in Water Court as experts in Water Resources Engineering, Water Rights Administration, and Water Right Evaluations. We have also completed dry-year analysis on water rights to determine the firm yield for planning purposes, water right acquisitions and possible replacement purposes. Other evaluations include determination of stream depletion from irrigation or industrial wells, and from stream losses due to gravel mining operations.
