GIS InformationRevised: October 29, 2004The Division of Water Rights uses Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to manage water right information. Specifically the Division uses Arc/Info and Arcview GIS software. Links available from this page allow downloading of GIS data and/or output products for use on your own system. In general you must have some type of GIS software to use this information. If you don't have any software you may want to consider downloading ArcExplorer from ESRI.
The pages that follow will provide WWW hyperlinks to download data. To understand the quad tile and numbering system please refer to Quad Instructions.
Topo Maps and PhotosThe division used to maintain a set set of scanned topographic maps at different map scales. We now refer you to the State's GIS Portal for this resource.

Water Right Coverages and Related TablesThe Division provides Arc/Info GIS coverages of water right related information for download. The coverages are in Arc Export format.
