Carville Decree Nevada The Carville Decree was issued on January 24, 1935 by Judge E.P. Carville and adjudicated water rights for the Little Humboldt River. As with the 1931 Bartlett Decree (and the 1935 Edwards Decree modifying the Bartlette Decree), the Carville Decree determined water rights for three classes of lands: (1) Class A – harvest crops, (2) Class B – meadow pasture, and (3) Class C – diversified pasture. In general, the decree provided for a flow of 1.0 cfs per 100 acres of decreed land, or at rates proportional to this. When water was available, Class A water rights are for the delivery of water at this rate of flow for a period of 180 days from March 15 to September 15, or a total water diversion during the season of 3.6 acre-feet per acre. Class B rights are for 90 days from March 15 to June 13, for a total of 1.8 acre-feet per acre. Class C rights are for 45 days from March 15 to April 28, for a total of 0.9 acre-feet per acre.
