Westwater Resources dba
WaterBank® deals in
water projects, water, and water rights in New Mexico and
elsewhere. A water rights is the legal
right to divert, capture, and beneficially use water from the physical
surface-water and/or ground-water supply.
A water right has a number of characteristics. They
are: 1) date of first use or a priority date; 2) a place of use; 3) a
purpose of use; 4) a point of diversion; 5) an amount of water; and, 6)
ownership. A valid water right requires continuity of
use since water was first placed to use. This may be a period of more
than 300 years.
When a water right is offered for
sale, the buyer is usually in a dilemma over the validity of a water rights.
Not only does
WaterBank®
broker the water rights as real property but we
also conduct validation studies. If the water rights lack evidence of
continual use, we will not offer them for sale. So that you may appreciate
the validation study, we are providing a link to validation study we have
done. Click here.
