The month number of the reporting year. i.e. 1=January, 2=February.. Etc. 

The amount of water used in acre feet for the diversion type, year and month.

The diversion type during the report year and month. Types of diversions are: Combined (Direct + Storage) (Combined Amount Directly diverted and stored, applies to Claimed water rights and all other reporting years before 2015), DIRECT (Amount directly diverted), STORAGE (Amount diverted or collected to storage), USE (Amount Used). Amount Directly Diverted: Water that is directly diverted (e.g.directly pumped from a stream and applied to land). Amount Diverted or Collected to Storage: Water that is diverted/collected to on-stream or off-stream storage/ reservoir. Amount Used: Represents the total amount of water beneficially used for the month. (It should include the value of water reported ad directly diverted amd the amount diverted or collected to storage, or the total value of both, if appropriate.
