§ 1390 Permit Duration For Water Use

• •You need a permit to use water for things like farming or businesses.
• •The permit only works as long as you're actually using the water for something good.
• •If you stop using the water the right way, the permit goes away.

A farmer gets a permit to use river water for crops.

If the farmer stops growing crops and leaves the water unused, the permit becomes invalid. They can't just hold onto the permit without using the water properly.
