The Watermaster's main responsibilities are to monitor and verify water use, collect assessments, conduct studies and prepare an
annual
report of its findings and activities to the Court as outlined in the
Judgment. Additionally, the Watermaster acts as the clearinghouse
for recording
water transfers and reports changes in ownership of Base Annual Production rights to the Court.
Performance of Watermaster duties requires the MWA to segregate and separately exercise its powers delegated by the Court under the
Judgment from its statutory powers as MWA.
