Yesterday, I had the privilege of teaching a Water Law Bootcamp for Water for Life. Over forty people attended at the Baker County Fairgrounds in Baker City Oregon. Unlike previous presentations, attendees focused their questions primarily on due diligence water rights review in real estate transactions and valuations of water rights when lending on water righted properties. Apparently in these economic times, realtors and lenders are giving much more scrutiny to what water rights exist on the property subject to a transaction.
