Description
A geospatial dataset from the State of Oregon depicting water right diversion points and places of use polygons. It includes all current and individually held water rights, excluding those held by irrigation districts, applications, temporary transfers, instream leases, and limited licenses. The data was last updated on 2026-03-22 and is provided in multiple formats including CSV, JSON, and KML.
Use Cases
Mapping water diversion infrastructure based on geospatial point data.
Analyzing agricultural water use patterns based on the association of rights with specific places of use.
Modeling water resource allocation and rights management based on the exclusion criteria for certain right types.
Integrating water rights data with other geospatial layers for land-use planning.
Strengths
Provides geospatial data for both points (diversion) and polygons (use), enabling spatial analysis.
Explicitly documents exclusions (irrigation districts, applications, etc.), clarifying data scope.
Offers data in multiple formats (CSV, JSON, KML, GeoJSON) for different technical workflows.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to its source, being specific to Oregon.
