Adjudication

Overview

The purpose of a water right adjudication is to catalog and confirm through the court all water rights and to which property those water rights belong, binding all property owners and parties to the court decree of those water rights.

The mission of the IDWR Adjudication Section is to accurately determine the water rights in a water right adjudication.
