Description
This is a water rights case which also involves issues of civil procedure. Plaintiff-respondent is an Idaho corporation which
            farms approximately 555 acres in Twin Falls County, 395 of which are irrigated. Of the 351 inches claimed for this purpose,
            250 miner's inches of water are obtained from a stream known as the "Mendini Tunnel" or "J-3 Coulee." In 1968, respondent
            brought an action to quiet its alleged title to 230 miner's inches of water from the stream, and to enjoin other users from
            diverting more than their alleged shares. Subsequently, it moved for an injunction temporarily restraining appellant from
            diverting more than 10 inches from the stream. Respondent conceded those 10 inches to appellant by virtue of an agreement
            between the parties' early predecessors. However, appellant counter-claimed for 50 miner's inches by prior appropriation,
            or by prescriptive right deriving from continuous diversion of that amount by his immediate predecessors for more than five
            years. Appellant was temporarily enjoined from diverting more than 10 inches from the stream. At subsequent hearings, held to show
            cause why a permanent injunction should not issue and to determine the equities of the parties, appellant adduced testimony
            that his predecessors had diverted up to 50 inches since 1936. Respondent's evidence rebutted that claim and showed that each
            year, up to the year immediately preceding the first hearing, it had physically interfered with delivery of more than 10 inches
            to the Shaub farm when the water was needed at the Glenn Dale Ranches. Respondent further claimed that 10 inches from the
            stream, combined with 60 inches which appellant drew from the Twin Falls Canal Company system, were more than adequate for
            the 54 irrigated acres on his 80 acre farm. When the hearings terminated, the court permanently enjoined appellant from diverting
            more than 10 inches.
