A landowner’s guide to Washington’s water law

The 1917 Water Code requires that you obtain a water right from the state to use water, even if it is flowing through your land. Today finding water for rural property is more challenging than ever after 100 years of evolving law, court rulings and increasing demand for water.

Looked this up after hearing about big water curtailments in Idaho. Sounds like we wouldn't ever have that problem since everyone is applying for rights, probably monitor everyone's wells.

its your land and your life. You need water? Dig a well. Big government controlling every aspect of our lives is crazy.
