consumptively

An appropriative right is not dependent on landownership but on diverting and consumptively using water for a beneficial use.

占用权不是基于土地所有权而产生的，而是在有偿转移和消耗性使用水的基础上产生的。

Some of this water may be returned to the original source with changes in the quantity and quality of the water, but some may be used consumptively.

这种水有些经过水量和水质的处理，重新回到原来的水源地，有一些则被消耗掉了。
