Guess who owns the rain which falls in Washington state
Posted on July 25th, 2008 by bile Tags: Department of Ecology, permit, property rights, rain, rain water, Washington 1 Comment »Under state law, rainwater is considered a water resource of the state. To use the waters of the state, an individual or group is required to get permission from the Department of Ecology in the form of a water right permit.
The state agency wants public comment on what the threshold should be for requiring a water right permit for those systems that could affect the water supply of senior water right holders or stream flows in some river basins.
Isn’t it swell that they are asking the public to comment? If you want more water for your river feel free to send a SMS to God and ask for it.
