About this structure

Coleman Ditch is the structure Colorado DWR identifies as WDID 1200654. The first two digits, 12, are Water District 12 (Arkansas: Salida to Portland), in Division 2, the Arkansas basin. Its call is on Hardscrabble Creek.

BasinMind first saw it on the division's active call list on October 3, 2026 and most recently on October 4, 2026.

DWR lists it as a futile call: junior rights may keep diverting because curtailing them would not get water to the senior right in time.

What its call means

While its call is on, rights on the affected stretch that are junior to its priority (November 3, 1867, administration number 6516.00000) may be ordered to reduce or stop diverting until it is satisfied; senior rights keep diverting.

A WDID names a structure, not a water right: one ditch can hold several rights with different priorities, and the call is placed with one of them. More in What is a water call?, Is my ditch in priority? and What is a WDID?.
