WATER RIGHT Measurement and Reporting
If you divert and use water from a surface water source such as a lake, creek, stream, or river, OR you divert water from a subterranean stream that flows in a known and definite channel, California law requires you to report your diversion and use to the State Water Board, Division of Water Rights.
The State Water Resources Control Board is hosting an information fair on water measurement and reporting on August 22, 2016, to facilitate better understanding of (and compliance with) measurement and reporting regulations recently adopted by the Board. The purpose of the information fair is to bring together water right holders, vendors, and other professionals employed in the water measurement industry to identify reasonable and practical ways to accurately measure water diversions in a variety of settings. State Water Board staff will be present to answer questions about compliance with the new regulations.
Additional information may be found on the attached flyer and on the following webpage:
