        "text": "NOBLE, Justice.\nDefendant Lewis has appealed from an order entered in Omnibus Cause Number 20294, Chaves County, by which defendants\u2019 water right in the Roswell Artesian Basin was determined to be for 23.1 acres rather than for 30.3 acres claimed.\nThe evidence was heard by a special master, all of whose findings and conclusions, insofar as pertinent to the issues in this appeal, were approved and adopted by the trial court. While the attack here is \u25a0 upon the court\u2019s findings, an appellate court must first review the sufficiency of the evidence to support those made by the master, Witt v. Skelly Oil Company, 71 N.M. 411, 379 P.2d 61. Since the findings by the court and the master are identical, we shall consider the attack, in this case, as though directed to the master\u2019s findings.\nThe principal challenge is directed to hydrographic survey maps, designated as the \u201cDallas Survey,\u201d a re-survey map sheet 16, 26-35, and a \u201cresources planning board map.\u201d It is claimed that the facts disclosed by these maps are not substantially supported by the evidence. These hydrographic survey maps were similarly attacked in People ex rel. Reynolds v. Fulton, 74 N.M. 406, 394 P.2d 258, opinion filed April 27, 1964, a similar appeal from the same omnibus cause. The effect of these maps was determined adversely to defendants\u2019 contention in Fulton, and on authority of that decision defendants\u2019 (appellants\u2019) points I and III are without merit.\nA review of the record discloses that findings of fact numbers 3, 9 and 10, .attacked by appellants under point II are supported by substantial evidence; and, under the well-established rule, this court, on appeal, will not disturb such findings. The fact that there may have been contrary evidence which would have supported a different finding does not permit us to weigh the evidence. Sanchez v. Garcia, 72 N.M. 406, 384 P.2d 681; Gladin v. Compton, 72 N.M. 175, 381 P.2d 961. The \u25a0trial court, as trier of the facts, must resolve all conflicts and we are bound by such findings unless they are set aside as unsupported by the evidence. Renehan v. Lobato, 55 N.M. 532, 237 P.2d 100.\nIt follows that the order appealed from should be affirmed.\nIt is so ordered.\nCOMPTON, C. J., and CARMODY, J., concur.",
