The quantity of water available under a right that has been transferred to a new point of diversion is protected only to the extent of the terms of the certificate for that right and the quantity available at the original point of diversion. The quantity of water does not include an allowance for losses or return flows in the stream channel between the original point of diversion and the new point of diversion. Transmission losses incurred in transporting stored water through a natural stream channel shall not be made up from natural flow. The watermaster may deny water to an appropriator using an unauthorized point of diversion.
