. (a) Following notice and hearing, the board may adopt a
declaration that a stream system is fully appropriated. As used in
this article, "stream system" includes stream, lake, or other body of
water, and tributaries and contributory sources, but does not
include an underground water supply other than a subterranean stream
following through known and definite channels.
(b) A declaration that a stream system is fully appropriated shall
contain a finding that the supply of water in the stream system is
being fully applied to beneficial uses where the board finds that
previous water rights decisions have determined that no water remains
available for appropriation.
(c) Upon its own motion or upon petition of any interested person,
and following notice and hearing, the board may revoke or revise a
declaration that a stream system is fully appropriated.
