Water Rights Evaluation and Administration:
|
|
Managing water rights is a complex legal, technical and administrative process. Truchas Hydrologic performs technical analysis and research in support of establishing, documenting, transferring or modifying water rights. Truchas Hydrologic often joins forces with a client's legal team, and provides the necessary technical expertise to such efforts.

Water Rights Acquisition
Purchasing or leasing transferable water rights is becoming an increasingly difficult task in the water-scarce West. Truchas Hydrologic researches supply markets and negotiates with potential providers to realize acquisition opportunities and the greatest value for its clients. |
Water Rights Documentation
Landowners and long-term historic water users are finding their water rights or use practices coming under increasing scrutiny and challenge in today's environment. Water rights that have been held for a long time by a family or business entity may lack sufficient documentation to withstand a legal challenge, form a defensible basis for an infringement claim, or qualify for transfer. Truchas Hydrologic works with holders of existing water rights and their legal team to ensure the viability and defensibility of their existing water rights. |
|
Transferring/Modifying Water Rights
Transferring or modifying an existing water right can be a complex administrative process. Water rights sales or leases are subject to each particular state's laws and often involve constraints based in federal law. Transferring an existing water right from one use to another may prove similarly complicated. Truchas Hydrologic provides the technical experience and expertise to support a client's legal team to successfully execute such transfers and modifications of water rights.
