Description
This entire controversy revolves around a construction and interpretation of §§ 42-605 and 42-607, Idaho Code, as amended, which grant to the watermaster of a water district certain powers and duties in connection with the distribution of waters from public streams in his district. The factual background is undisputed as shown by the affidavits filed with the court in connection with the plaintiff-respondent's motion for summary judgment which was granted by the trial court. This appeal is taken by the defendants-appellants from that order granting the motion for summary judgment. The plaintiff-respondent, C. V. DeRousse, claims a water right by constitutional appropriation under Section 3 of Article 15 of the Idaho Constitution in the waters of Thorne Creek. Water district 12-A encompasses Thorne Creek which is a tributary of Mores Creek which in turn is a tributary of the Boise River. There have been prior water decrees adjudicating water rights on these waters of which the primary one is commonly known as the Stewart Decree, Farmers Cooperative Co. v. Riverside Irrigation District, et al., Seventh Judicial District, Canyon County, filed January 20, 1906. Neither party contends that the plaintiff is precluded from asserting his water right by reason of the decree as apparently neither the plaintiff nor his predecessors were made parties to the action.
