§ 1381 Permit Water Use Limits

• •A water permit tells you exactly how much water you can take and how you can use it.
• •You can't take more water than the permit allows.
• •You can't use the water for something different than what the permit says.

A farmer gets a permit to use water from a river to grow crops.

The permit says the farmer can take 100 gallons of water per day only for watering crops. If the farmer takes 200 gallons or uses the water to fill a swimming pool, they are breaking the law.
