§ 4227 Water Rights Budget Allocation

• •If you own land with water rights, you have to share the water fairly with others in your area.
• •The water budget must be split among all the owners who have the right to use or store water.
• •This rule makes sure no one takes more water than they should.

Imagine you and your neighbors all have wells to get water from the same underground source.

You can't take all the water for yourself. You have to agree on how much each person can use so there's enough for everyone.
