Description
Roswell (City of Roswell) sought to change the location of wells and the place and purpose of use of water from the wells. Its purpose was to establish a new well field as a municipal water supply. The water rights involved are rights to appropriate water from the Roswell Artesian Basin. Carlsbad (Carlsbad Irrigation District) and Berry (Mr. H. C. Berry) protested the application. At the hearing before the State Engineer, Roswell and Carlsbad entered a stipulation. Berry contends this stipulation deprived the State Engineer of jurisdiction. Berry appealed the State Engineer's decision to the District Court. After this appeal was taken, the State Engineer amended his order. Berry claims the State Engineer was without jurisdiction to amend his order. The District Court affirmed the State Engineer's decision. Berry attacks two of the findings on which this affirmance was based. He also contends that the findings show an impairment to his water rights.
