VPRS 5324 Mining Registrar's Register Of Water Rights, Raglan Mining Division

This series was created to record the receipt and outcome of applications for water right licences. These were mainly concerned with the construction and use of water races and reservoirs on mining claims.As with applications for mining leases, applications for water right licences were received by the Mining Registrar in each Mining Division and eventually forwarded to the Minister for Mines who advised the Governor-in-Council whether to approve the application.The following information was usually recorded in the register:- the number of the application (allocated by the Registrar)- the date the application was received- the name(s) and address(es) of the applicant(s)- the nature of the application (including details such as whether the application was for a race or reservoir, the size of the reservoir and whether a water right licence would interfere with any other mining rights and operations)- the amount of money which had been or was to be invested- the proposed locality- the term (ie length of time) of the licence and when operations were to commence- the date the Mining Surveyor was instructed to survey the land, and- details of the gazettal of the licence, if it was approved.Registers of Water Rights were not necessarily created by every Divisional Mining Registrar. In a number of instances this information was recorded in the register of mining licenses.

本数据集系列旨在记录水权许可证（water right licence）申请的接收与审批结果，此类申请主要涉及采矿权地块（mining claims）内输水渠道（water races）与水库的修建及使用。
与采矿租赁权申请流程一致，水权许可证申请由各矿业分区（Mining Division）的矿业登记官（Mining Registrar）接收，最终报送至矿业大臣（Minister for Mines），由其向总督会同行政会议（Governor-in-Council）就该申请是否予以批准提出建议。
登记册中通常会记录以下信息：
- 申请编号（由登记官分配）
- 申请接收日期
- 申请人姓名及联系地址
- 申请性质（包含如下细节：申请用于修建输水渠道还是水库、水库规模，以及该水权许可证是否会对其他采矿权及采矿作业造成干扰）
- 已投入或拟投入的资金总额
- 拟选址
- 许可证有效期限（即时长）及作业计划启动时间
- 矿业测量员（Mining Surveyor）受指令开展地块勘测的日期
- 若申请获批，则记录许可证官方宪报公告（gazettal）的相关细节
并非所有矿业分区的登记官都会单独创建水权登记册，在不少情况下，此类信息会被录入采矿许可证登记册中。
