In the absence of applicable court orders or adjudication decrees, the state engineer shall, prior to administration, make a determination of farm delivery and project diversion requirements in water master districts that are subject to administration. The project diversion requirement may be expressed as a maximum rate of diversion, an annual maximum diverted volume of water for a specified use, or both. The state engineer may modify these determinations based on new information, including field experience of the water master. None of the requirements of this provision shall apply if a determination adequate for effective water administration has been made by a court of competent jurisdiction.
