Oregon Water Rights Points of Diversion and Places of Use, Geospatial Data

A geospatial dataset from the State of Oregon depicting the location of water right diversion points (POD) and places of use (POU) polygons. It provides basic information about associated water rights, covering all current and individually held rights except those held by irrigation districts, applications, temporary transfers, instream leases, and limited licenses. The data was last updated on March 22, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map water right locations based on the described Points of Diversion (POD) and Places of Use (POU) polygons.
• Analyze water allocation for commercial purposes based on the commercial use tag and water right information.
• Support regulatory compliance and planning by identifying current, individually held water rights as described.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly geospatial, containing point and polygon features for locations.
• Includes links to current code definitions and a compilation procedures document for metadata.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-03 22 03:19:57.487053.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description does not specify the exact temporal coverage of the water rights records.
