Adjudication Recommendation POUs

Locations for Places of Use (POUs) for active adjudication recommendations in Idaho. POUs represent areas where water can be used from a live flow, either surface water or ground water (springs, stream or well), and put to beneficial use under a water right. A water right must have at least one use, and may have many uses. Uses may be consumptive, such as irrigation or domestic, or non-consumptive, such as power or instream flow. Polygons depicting POUs were initially developed from the PLSS descriptions on the water right documents, such as quarter quarters and government lots. Some POUs have been digitized using aerial imagery. POU locations are continuously being updated as better locational information becomes available. A water right can be in one or more of seven process or stages: (1) Application for a permit to develop a new water right; (2) Permit for applicant to develop the water use; (3) Licensed bona fide water right through which the Idaho Department of Water Resources has approved final configuration and amounts; (4) Claim for a water right or beneficial use which has been claimed in an adjudication; (5) Recommendation , which is the determination of the final configuation and amount of a Claim, that, when approved by the court, is decreed and supersedes its License, if one previously existed; (6) A decreed bona fide water right, as decreed by a court through an adjudication; (7) Transfer of a portion of the WR or claim, generally through a change of ownership splitting the right, or change in one or more elements of the water right or claim.爱达荷州内与主动确权推荐程序相关的使用场所（Places of Use，POUs）点位数据集。POUs指依据水权可从动态水流（包括地表水或地下水，如泉水、溪流或水井）取水并用于有益用途的区域。一项水权至少对应一项用水用途，也可包含多项用途。用水可分为消耗性用水（如灌溉或生活用水）与非消耗性用水（如发电或河道内用水）。最初依据水权文件中的PLSS描述（如1/16区块与政府地块）绘制了代表POUs的多边形图层，部分POUs已通过航空影像完成数字化。随着更精准的位置信息不断获取，POU点位将持续更新。一项水权可处于以下七个流程或阶段中的一个或多个：1. 申请开发新水权的许可；2. 授予申请人用水开发许可；3. 经爱达荷州水资源局核准最终配置与用水量的合法有效水权；4. 在确权程序中主张的水权或有益用水权利主张；5. 推荐意见：即对权利主张的最终配置与用水量作出的裁定，经法院批准后将正式生效并取代此前已有的许可（若存在）；6. 经法院通过确权程序裁定的合法有效水权；7. 水权（WR）或权利主张的部分转让，通常通过变更所有权拆分权利，或变更水权/权利主张的一项或多项要素实现。
