the reservoir for a permanent and sufficient interest in such reservoir to impound

enough water for the purpose set forth in the application. 3. Effluent discharged from the point of the final treatment from within a sewage

collection and treatment system shall be considered water as referred to in this chapter,

and shall be subject to appropriation for beneficial use under the reservoir-secondary

permit procedure described in this section. Nothing in this section shall preclude appropriation in accordance with and subject

to the provisions of NRS 533.324 to 533.435 , inclusive. 4. When beneficial use has been completed and perfected under the secondary permit,

and after the holder thereof shall have made proofs of the commencement and completion

of his or her work, and of the application of water to beneficial use, as in the case

of other permits, as provided in this chapter, a final certificate of appropriation

shall issue as other certificates are issued, except that the certificate shall refer

to both the works described in the secondary permit and the reservoir described in

the primary permit.
