In Re Application No. C-1593 of George H. Brantley To Supplement Surface Waters of Carlsbad Irrigation District. George H. Brantley

Applicant-appellee, George H. Brantley, filed an application with the New Mexico State Engineer seeking to supplement his rights to irrigation waters. The Carlsbad Irrigation District (C.I.D.) protested. After a hearing the State Engineer denied the application. On appeal to the District Court of Eddy County the case was tried de novo. Judgment was entered in favor of Brantley. The State Engineer and C.I.D. appeal. We reverse.
