Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. No permit for the appropriation of
water or application to change the point of diversion, manner of use or place
of use under an existing water right may be denied because of the fact that the
point of diversion described in the application for the permit, or any portion
of the works in the application described and to be constructed for the purpose
of storing, conserving, diverting or distributing the water are situated in any
other state; but in all such cases where the place of intended use, or the
lands, or part of the lands identified as the place of use, are situated within
this state, the permit must be issued as in other cases, pursuant to the
provisions of NRS 533.324 to 533.450 , inclusive, and chapter 534 of NRS.
2. The permit must not purport to
authorize the doing or refraining from any act or thing, in connection with the
system of appropriation, not properly within the scope of the jurisdiction of
this state and the State Engineer to grant.
