Seeing a single water right clearly on the ground.
This example shows how a landowner can see their water right in a way that actually makes sense: where the Point of Diversion (POD) sits, how the Place of Use (POU) is defined, and how it all relates to their property boundaries.
What the map highlights
- Parcel boundary for the landowner’s property.
- Point(s) of Diversion (POD) that supply water to the property, such as a headgate or well.
- Authorized Place of Use (POU) polygon showing where water is legally allowed to be applied.
- Key details like source, priority date, and flow rate.
Why landowners care
Most landowners only see their water rights in legal text, PDFs, or legacy portals. It’s hard to answer basic questions like:
- “Where exactly is my water right on the ground?”
- “Does this right really cover my whole field?”
- “Which diversion point is tied to this right?”
How WaterWise helps
- Shows PODs, POUs, and parcels together in one view.
- Removes the need to cross-check multiple maps, PDFs, and spreadsheets.
- Creates a shareable map that can be used with family, agents, appraisers, or attorneys.
From legal language to a map you can point at
Instead of forcing landowners to interpret legal descriptions or portal screenshots, WaterWise anchors everything to geography. Parcels, diversion points, and Places of Use are tied together so a landowner can see, “this is my place, and this is how my right works on it.”
