Down stream water rights can be a legal issue. I would start with your
county engineer and the DNR.
As an aside -
I asked the county folks about building a small weir on our creek to
create a pond and reservoir to irrigate from - and to give the tree
frogs a place to breed. Turns out there are many down-stream legal
implications.
Half a year later a beaver took up residence and built an admirable
weir of her own, providing me with the reservoir I was looking for. I
called a half dozen state agencies and none can sight any legal
reasons that I should remove her dam.
So if the state denies your request, consider training a beaver. :-)
