1. Upon approval of an application to appropriate water, the State Engineer may limit the initial use of water to a quantity that is less than the total amount approved for the application. The use of an additional amount of water that is not more than the total amount approved for the application may be authorized by the State Engineer at a later date if additional evidence demonstrates to the satisfaction of the State Engineer that the additional amount of water is available and may be appropriated in accordance with this chapter and chapter 534 of NRS. In making that determination, the State Engineer may establish a period during which additional studies may be conducted or additional evidence provided to support the application.
2. In any basin in which an application to appropriate water is approved pursuant to subsection 1, the State Engineer may act upon any other pending application to appropriate water in that basin that the State Engineer concludes constitutes the use of a minimal amount of water.
