If you have water rights you want to buy or sell, or want to find out more about them, this is the place to do it! Our site is linked to the Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) database, which is very user-friendly. Water is an increasingly precious resource with many competing interests. Opportunities to obtain new surface water or groundwater rights are limited and the process is fraught with significant difficulties and uncertainties. We have developed this Web site to provide useful information about obtaining water rights and dealing with water rights problems. This Web site also provides an opportunity to use market forces to optimize the use of existing water rights by linking those interested in obtaining water rights with those interested in selling or leasing water rights. Use of this Web site is free! Gathering Data If you want information about your own or someone else's water right, click on Water Rights Database. You will be linked to the OWRD database and can easily find information about a water right. Purchase Water Rights If you need water, click on Purchase Water Rights. We have a database of water rights that are for sale or lease. If we don't have a listing in your area, we may be able to help you identify a willing seller. Sell Water Rights If you are interested in selling or leasing some or all of your water rights, click on Sell Water Rights. Doing so will take you to a Web page that will tell you how to do it. Click there also if you are interested in transferring your water rights to other land or want to change the place of use or point of diversion of your water right. Flow Mitigation and Replacement Click on Flow Mitigation and Replacement if you are interested in programs or projects that may be available to meet all or a portion of your flow mitigation and replacement requirements. This will be particularly useful to those needing groundwater mitigation credits in the Deschutes Basin. We will soon provide a listing of programs throughout the state and hope that this Web site can be a clearinghouse for flow mitigation and replacement opportunities.
