Water Use Report Based on Water Right

The Water Resources Department makes reasonable efforts to screen the data for quality control; however, the Department cannot accept responsibility for errors, omissions, or accuracy of the information. Notification of any errors is appreciated. Send notifications to owrd.waterusereporting@water.oregon.gov or call 971-345-7489.
Water use is reported by point of diversion (POD), rather than by water right.
If a POD is shared with multiple water rights, it is not feasible to separate out the amount used under the water right being queried from water used by other rights using this same POD.
Monthly amounts indicate:
- For diverted rights, the total amount diverted during the month;
- For storage rights, the amount generally stored in the reservoir/pond during the month, as represented by the volume of water impounded on approximately the same day each month.
Water use amounts have all been converted to “acre-feet” (AF), regardless of the original measurement unit reported. One AF is the volume of water that will cover an acre of ground one foot deep = 325,850 gallons.
Zeroes indicate that a report was received stating that no water was used during those months; if a year is not listed, no report of water use was received for that year.
