S&T Project 20088 Final Report: Water Rights Information Management System

Published by Bureau of Reclamation | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: April 18, 2026 at 01:18 AM | Dataset Last Updated: August 29, 2022 at 04:15 PM
Water Rights Information Management System Science and Technology Program Research and Development Office Final Report No. ST-2020 20088-REPORT NUMBER (01). The Bureau of Reclamation does not own a centralized database system that tracks Reclamation-owned water rights. In the U.S., law governs the allocation, ownership, and transfer of water rights. Because of the variability between state systems across Reclamation, tracking its water rights requires flexibility when maintaining, monitoring, and protecting its water rights. Project-related water rights represent a valuable property right, but Reclamation does not have a centralized database system. As a result, Regions and Area Offices employ a variety of methods to monitor water rights, however their methods are not consistent. This water rights information management system (WRIMS) will bring consistency to this task and add GIS data tracking to provide a user-friendly visual format that shows accurate allocations, locations, ownership, and relationships to Reclamation assets.
