California Water Rights Petitions LIST

For example, parties holding pre-1914 or riparian claims can submit instream flow dedications to allow some of their water to remain instream and benefit instream uses. The Division of Water Rights also processes petitions submitted by wastewater treatment plant operators who wish to decrease their discharges to a stream. Each row correspond with a unique Petition ID and its associated data.

The list include basic summary information about the Water Right record, such as the type and status, the location associated to the Petition, and summary data associated with the electronic Water Right record. This file is in flat file format and may not include all information associated to a water right such all uses and seasons or the amounts reported used for every month. That information may be available in the associated flat files for each category.
