§ 6205 Water Use Application Purpose

• •You must say why you need the water you're taking or redirecting.
• •The reason for using the water has to be clear when you ask for permission.
• •This rule is about being honest and specific about your water use.

A farmer wants to take water from a river for their crops.

The farmer must tell the government exactly why they need the water, like 'I need it to water my corn fields.' They can't just say 'I need water' without explaining how they'll use it.
