About the Position

Arizona, like the other western states, is conducting general stream adjudications of most of the state’s appropriable water. Currently, there are two general adjudications of rights to appropriable water that cover large areas of land in southern and northern Arizona. The general adjudications require users of appropriable water who wish to have a water right to file claims for those water rights. More than 100,000 claims have been filed by individuals, farmers, ranchers, small businesses, cities, tribes, mining companies, the State of Arizona, and the United States. Arizona Department of Water Resources (“ADWR”), which serves as a technical advisor to the court, investigates those claims and prepares reports. The court then considers the claims for water rights and the objections filed to the report prepared by ADWR and issues final decreed water rights.

The Arizona Supreme Court has appointed a water judge for the general adjudication proceedings. The water judge may appoint a special master. The special master is responsible for conducting hearings and other proceedings necessary to consider the claims for water rights and the objections filed to the ADWR reports. The cases are generally conducted under the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedures and can involve discovery disputes, motions in limine, dispositive motions, and evidentiary hearings. The cases run the entire gamut in terms of size and complexity. Once all of the claimed rights have been litigated for a watershed or a reservation, the completed abstracts, which have been assembled in a catalog of proposed water rights, are submitted with a final report and a recommended decree to the water judge for final consideration and a final decree. In addition to deciding individual cases, the special master will decide legal issues of broad legal importance to large numbers of claimants in the general adjudications. Those decisions are included in final reports that are submitted to the water judge for a final determination.

The Special Water Master, under the supervision of the Water Judge, is responsible for conducting hearings and other proceedings necessary to consider the claims for water rights and the objections filed to the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) reports.
