NRS 533.075 Rotation in use of water. To
bring about a more economical use of the available water supply, it shall be
lawful for water users owning lands to which water is appurtenant to rotate in
the use of the supply to which they may be collectively entitled; or a single
water user, having lands to which water rights of a different priority attach,
may in like manner rotate in use, when such rotation can be made without injury
to lands enjoying an earlier priority, to the end that each user may have an
irrigation head of at least 2 cubic feet per second.
