Water-right lineage
This timeline puts WDID 0103651’s decreed rights (Riverside Res) — the same rights as the portfolio above — in chronological order by appropriation date (oldest first), grouped by decade. It reflects DWR’s current net-amounts tabulation, not a complete decree history: intermediate decrees, changes, and abandonment proceedings exist only in the underlying court case files. It is not a title opinion and not a complete chain of title.

Ditch/canal alignment
- Ditch/canal alignment (USGS NHD, name-matched)
This company's verified ditch/canal alignment lies in Weld County, on South Platte River. Irrigated parcels are not linked for this company, so no footprint is shown.
The solid line is this company's ditch/canal alignment — USGS National Hydrography Dataset (hydro.nationalmap.gov/arcgis/rest/services/nhd/MapServer/6), name-matched against DWR structure/company name and reviewed by DitchBook as of 2026-08-07 — mapping-grade, not a survey. Shown for 1 of 1 reviewed structure. This company has no state-mapped irrigated-parcel footprint on file, so none is shown here. Satellite imagery is available via the map's Satellite/Map toggle, courtesy of USDA/USGS (The National Map), public domain. Boundaries are the state's, drawn to locate the land, not to settle it.

As of 2026-07-27, DWR diversion records for WDID 0103651. Annual values follow the DWR water year (November–October). Years marked provisional are DWR's own provisional records — the state has not finalized them, and they are drawn with a dashed outline above. All other years are published records. A diversion record is what the state's records show ran through the headgate; it is not a share, an entitlement, or a company allocation. How this page is built.

DitchBook is not affiliated with Riverside Reservoir And Land Company. This page is a public-record profile compiled from Colorado Secretary of State and public water-district data.
A mutual ditch or reservoir company is a nonprofit corporation formed under Colorado law — most commonly C.R.S. Title 7, Article 42 — so that landowners who share an irrigation ditch, canal, or reservoir can jointly own and operate it. Instead of the water right belonging to a single person, shares in the company represent each owner's proportional claim, and the company's board and secretary keep the ledger, run assessments for maintenance, and issue certificates the way any small corporation would. Many of these companies have operated continuously since the 1880s, run entirely by volunteer officers who inherit the books from whoever kept them before.
Buying or selling land with shares in Riverside Reservoir And Land Company?
Ditch shares are corporate stock — they don't transfer with the deed, and under C.R.S. § 7-42-104 unpaid assessments follow the shares to the new owner as a lien. The plain-English walkthrough — including what the standard Colorado contract does and doesn't protect — is at Ditch shares at closing on Water Rights Colorado, a guide site from DitchBook's operator.
