State Database (eWRIMS)

Not in state DB

This water right does not appear in California's eWRIMS database. The holder likely has not filed a Statement of Diversion and Use with the State Water Resources Control Board. Pre-1914 rights are only in eWRIMS if holders voluntarily filed — many have not, making these rights less visible to the state.

Notes: TYPED. Fifth and final R.D. Dorris claim. 15,000 inches - the LARGEST single claim in the entire Book 1 records. Combined total across all 5 Dorris claims: 33,600 inches (200 + 8,000 + 10,000 + 400 + 15,000) from 5 different streams, all for the same massive use area. This represents an extraordinary water empire covering ~30 sections across 4 township/range combinations.
