OWRD Water Right (WR) coverage information:
Intro
Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) water rights (WR) coverages are
compiled by
theme, places of use (POU) and points of diversion (POD), and are tiled
by Township, and
grouped by OWRD basin. Individual water rights are digitized into a township
coverage using
the best available Public Land Survey (PLS) data for the area in question
(1:24,000-scale or
larger). Conflicts between POU polygons are corrected, as much as possible,
by staff to remove
overlaps or other errors that may occur from joining individual map layouts.
Some conflicts will
have to be corrected after actual ground verification by staff or water
rights holders.
Status
Digital compilation of the water rights began about seven years ago in the
Northwest portion of
the state. Work progressed to the south and then westward. At this point,
over 2/3 of the state
has been completed. Updates will begin in May 1998. Permitted and certificated
rights are
digitized.
NOTE
It is strongly recommended that if you have any questions concerning water
rights that you
contact your local watermaster or the water rights staff at the Oregon Water
Resources
Department.

Description of significant POD attributes:
section the Public Land Survey Section (PLSS) number that the POD is physically
located in.
app the Application number assigned to the Water Right associated
with this specific
record.
certificate the Certificate number assigned to the water Right associated
with this
specific record. A certificate indicates a completed and
final water right.
permit the Permit number assigned to the Water Right associated with
this specific
record.
pod-num number on Water Rights having more than one POD.
source the source of the water for the POD.
use the authorized use allowed this POD under the Water Right. A
complete
listing of allowable OWRD use codes may be obtained from the OWRD's
Web
site: http://www.wrd.state.or.us/waterrights/wrisuse.html
stream.code (also 'wrd-id')
WRD code used to identify the stream that the POD is on
riv.mile river-mile at which the POD is physically located
rate the quantity of water allowed to be diverted from each point of
diversion. Usually
measured in cubic feet per second (cfs), but acre-feet and gallons
per minute are
also used. 'div-units' holds a code indicating measurement units.
spec-limits specified limits of the water right. Contains the redefined
items 'duty', 'limit',
and 'other limits'.
duty the limit on the rate of withdrawal. It is usually
stated as cubic-
feet-per-second (cfs) per acre. For example, 1/40 means
that if you
are irrigating 40-acres you can apply water at a rate
of 1-cfs.
limit the maximum volume of water that can be diverted
in a single
season.
other limits any other specified limits on the volume of water
that can be
diverted.
stream1.name
the source that the right is diverting from.
stream2.name
river/stream that 'stream1.name' is tributary to.
source-type a code indicating the type of source that the water is being
diverted from. A
complete listing of the OWRD source codes may be obtained
from the OWRD's

attributes):
section the section number that the POU is physically located in (or most
of it if it spans
more than one section).
priority the priority date of the water right. This is assigned as the

OWRD web site at
http://www.wrd.state.or.us/waterrights/wrisuse.html
acres the number of acres irrigated by this right, to the nearest
