GIS Information

About:


The Division of Water Rights uses Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to manage water right information. Specifically the Division uses ArcGIS 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.


Resources:

Water Right Coverages and Related Tables

The Division provides shapefiles of water right related information for download. The shapefiles are in self-extracting (.exe) files. Other Water Right data from the Division's databases can also be downloaded to create related database tables for spatial information using links on the GIS Data and Related Tables page.
