Transfers Program: Permanant Streamflow Protection
When water right holders no longer need their water, they can transfer that water to new lands or sell it outright. Irrigation district patrons generally need the approval of their district’s board. The DRC purchase the water and permanently protects it instream.
If you are interested in transferring your water rights instream, please contact the DRC. If you are a Central Oregon Irrigation District or Swalley Irrigation District patron, you can also participate in the Central Oregon Water Bank.
