The waters of Washington State collectively belong to the public and cannot be owned by any one individual or group. Instead, individuals or groups may be granted rights to use them. A water right is a legal authorization to use a predefined quantity of public water for a designated purpose. This purpose must qualify as a beneficial use. Beneficial use involves the application of a reasonable quantity of water to a non-wasteful use, such as irrigation, domestic water supply, or power generation, to name a few. An average household uses about 300 gallons of water per day.
State law requires certain users of public waters to receive approval from the state prior to using water - in the form of a water right permit or certificate. Any use of surface water (lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, or springs) which began after the state water code was enacted in 1917 requires a water-right permit or certificate.
Likewise, withdrawals of underground (ground) water from 1945 onward, when the state groundwater code was enacted, require a water right permit or certificate – unless the use is specifically exempt from state permitting requirements. While “exempt” groundwater uses are excused from needing a state permit, they still are considered to be water rights.
The Washington State Trust Water Rights Program provides a way to legally hold water rights for future uses without the water right relinquishing.
Water is held in trust to benefit groundwater and instream flows, and other beneficial uses. While water is held in trust it retains its original priority date. The Trust Water Rights Program is used to implement the Water Acquisition Program and for holding water for Water Banking activities.
The Washington State Trust Water Rights program provides a way to legally hold water rights for future uses without the water right relinquishing. Water is held in trust to benefit groundwater and instream flows, and other beneficial uses. While water is held in trust it retains its original priority date.
RCW 90.38.020Acquisition or donation of trust water rights. |
(1)(a) The department may acquire water rights, including but not limited to storage rights, by purchase, lease, gift, or other appropriate means other than by condemnation, from any person or entity or combination of persons or entities. Once acquired, such rights are trust water rights. A water right acquired by the state that is expressly conditioned to limit its use to instream purposes shall be administered as a trust water right in compliance with that condition.
(b) If the holder of a right to water from a body of water chooses to donate all or a portion of the person's water right to the trust water system to assist in providing instream flows on a temporary or permanent basis, the department shall accept the donation on such terms as the person may prescribe as long as the donation satisfies the requirements of subsection (4) of this section and the other applicable requirements of this chapter and the terms prescribed are relevant and material to protecting any interest in the water right retained by the donor. Once accepted, such rights are trust water rights within the conditions prescribed by the donor.
(2) The department may make such other arrangements, including entry into contracts with other persons or entities as appropriate to ensure that trust water rights acquired in accordance with this chapter can be exercised to the fullest possible extent.
(3) The trust water rights may be acquired on a temporary or permanent basis.
(4) A water right donated under subsection (1)(b) of this section shall not exceed the extent to which the water right was exercised during the five years before the donation nor may the total of any portion of the water right remaining with the donor plus the donated portion of the water right exceed the extent to which the water right was exercised during the five years before the donation. A water right holder who believes his or her water right has been impaired by a trust water right donated under subsection (1)(b) of this section may request that the department review the impairment claim. If the department determines that exercising the trust water right resulting from the donation or exercising a portion of that trust water right donated under subsection (1)(b) of this section is impairing existing water rights in violation of RCW 90.38.902, the trust water right shall be altered by the department to eliminate the impairment. Any decision of the department to alter or not alter a trust water right donated under subsection (1)(b) of this section is appealable to the pollution control hearings board under RCW 43.21B.230. A donated water right's status as a trust water right under this subsection is not evidence of the validity or quantity of the water right.
(5) Any water right conveyed to the trust water right system as a gift that is expressly conditioned to limit its use to instream purposes shall be managed by the department for public purposes to ensure that it qualifies as a gift that is deductible for federal income taxation purposes for the person or entity conveying the water right.
(6) If the department acquires a trust water right by lease, the amount of the trust water right shall not exceed the extent to which the water right was exercised during the five years before the acquisition was made nor may the total of any portion of the water right remaining with the original water right holder plus the portion of the water right leased by the department exceed the extent to which the water right was exercised during the five years before the acquisition. A water right holder who believes his or her water right has been impaired by a trust water right leased under this subsection may request that the department review the impairment claim. If the department determines that exercising the trust water right resulting from the leasing or exercising of a portion of that trust water right leased under this subsection is impairing existing water rights in violation of RCW 90.38.902, the trust water right shall be altered by the department to eliminate the impairment. Any decision of the department to alter or not to alter a trust water right leased under this subsection is appealable to the pollution control hearings board under RCW 43.21B.230. The department's leasing of a trust water right under this subsection is not evidence of the validity or quantity of the water right.
(7) For a water right donated to or acquired by the trust water rights program on a temporary basis, the full quantity of water diverted or withdrawn to exercise the right before the donation or acquisition shall be placed in the trust water rights program and shall revert to the donor or person from whom it was acquired when the trust period ends.
RCW 90.42.040Trust water rights program — Water right certificate — Notice of creation or modification. |
(1) A trust water right acquired by the state shall be placed in the state trust water rights program to be managed by the department. The department shall exercise its authorities under the law in a manner that protects trust water rights. Trust water rights acquired by the state shall be held in trust and authorized for use by the department for instream flows, irrigation, municipal, or other beneficial uses consistent with applicable regional plans for pilot planning areas, or to resolve critical water supply problems. The state may acquire a groundwater right to be placed in the state trust water rights program. To the extent practicable and subject to legislative appropriation, trust water rights acquired in an area with an approved watershed plan developed under chapter 90.82 RCW shall be consistent with that plan if the plan calls for such acquisition.
(2) The department shall issue a water right certificate in the name of the state of Washington for each permanent trust water right conveyed to the state indicating the quantity of water transferred to trust, the reach or reaches of the stream or the body of public groundwater that constitutes the place of use of the trust water right, and the use or uses to which it may be applied. A superseding certificate shall be issued that specifies the amount of water the water right holder would continue to be entitled to as a result of the water conservation project. The superseding certificate shall retain the same priority date as the original right. For nonpermanent conveyances, the department shall issue certificates or such other instruments as are necessary to reflect the changes in purpose or place of use or point of diversion or withdrawal.
(3) A trust water right retains the same priority date as the water right from which it originated, but as between the two rights, the trust right shall be deemed to be inferior in priority unless otherwise specified by an agreement between the state and the party holding the original right.
(4)(a) Exercise of a trust water right may be authorized only if the department first determines that neither water rights existing at the time the trust water right is established, nor the public interest will be impaired.
(b) If impairment becomes apparent during the time a trust water right is being exercised, the department shall cease or modify the use of the trust water right to eliminate the impairment.
(c) A trust water right acquired by the state and held or authorized for beneficial use by the department is considered to be exercised as long as it is in the trust water rights program.
(d) For the purposes of RCW 90.03.380(1) and 90.42.080(9), the consumptive quantity of a trust water right acquired by the state and held or authorized for use by the department is equal to the consumptive quantity of the right prior to transfer into the trust water rights program.
(5)(a) Before any trust water right is created or modified, the department shall, at a minimum, require that a notice be published in a newspaper of general circulation published in the county or counties in which the storage, diversion, and use are to be made, and in other newspapers as the department determines is necessary, once a week for two consecutive weeks.
(b) At the same time the department shall send a notice containing pertinent information to all appropriate state agencies, potentially affected local governments and federally recognized tribal governments, and other interested parties.
(c) For a trust water right donation described in RCW 90.42.080(1)(b), or for a trust water right lease described in RCW 90.42.080(8) that does not exceed five years, the department may post equivalent information on its web site to meet the notice requirements in (a) of this subsection and may send pertinent information by e-mail to meet the notice requirements in (b) of this subsection.
(6) RCW 90.14.140 through 90.14.230 have no applicability to trust water rights held by the department under this chapter or exercised under this section.
(7) RCW 90.03.380 has no applicability to trust water rights acquired by the state through the funding of water conservation projects.
(8) Subsection (4)(a) of this section does not apply to a trust water right resulting from a donation for instream flows described in RCW 90.42.080(1)(b) or to a trust water right leased under RCW 90.42.080(8) if the period of the lease does not exceed five years.
(9) Where a portion of an existing water right that is acquired or donated to the trust water rights program will assist in achieving established instream flows, the department shall process the change or amendment of the existing right without conducting a review of the extent and validity of the portion of the water right that will remain with the water right holder.

Here are a few things to know when buying Bare land.
What size of property do you need? Typically in our area 5 plus acres is common, we only have a few areas where you can get less acerage but it's typically in the city limits or close too. Some buyers need more acreage for recreation purposes, Farming, Ranching or just for space so it is good to ask if the property has state land near by or surrounding it if you need that extra space. You can go to this Public lands website to view Public lands and campgrounds. Remote and secluded properties are ideal for privacy, hunting and they may not be accessible year around by ordinary vehicle. Some may require 4-wheeler or snowmobile, snowshoe, cross country ski’s to get there during high snow pack years. If you are interested in Hunting Property in Klickitat County CLICK HERE to go to my website catered to Hunting properties sorted by Game Management units in Klickitat County.
How far are the utilities? Typically on town lots you will have a meter or power line running throught the property but the farther out from town you get the more of a chance this is not the case. For remote and secluded properties solar and wind energy works great for the weekender, vacation cabin in the woods. For you star gazers, do you like the view of the sky from this property? Many remote properties are good for star gazing due to lack of city and street lights. Power is commonly over a mile away. The last time I got a quote on running power a mile, they said give or take $ 25,000.00 per mile over head poles. Go to the Klickitat PUD website for further details. Power approximate above ground $ 5.00 a ft and $ 9.00 a ft below to site. Plus cost of poles quoted $ 13.00 per pole for above ground. Plus cost of power box on ground for both. If you fall under the developer rate it is $ 11.00 per ft for both but than when you get your building permit you get the difference back. If you can also get money back if someone taps into the line for service to their property within the first 5 yrs.
Well Depth’s and Septic: Well depth… that can be a deep conversation. I get asked everyday “how deep are the wells?” I can show you the closest well log reports from the Washington Dept of Ecology website or you can search yourself. This does not mean you won’t have a 900 foot well! It does reduce the probability but it is no guarantee. I was last quoted about $ 35.00 per ft drilled for wells. Septic system’s; what kind of septic will this property need? Standard can run approx $ 5000.00 and pressurized or mound system $9000.00 and up. This depends on the type of soil on the property. Generally you will need a 5 ft hole with lots of soil to get a standard system.
How is the access to the property and will it fit your needs? Do you need Pavement for those special cars? Or maybe you need dirt for that special 4 X 4 that requires remote and secluded properties that many roads are base rock and just plain dirt trail and I have heard some referred to as Goat trails. I thought that was funny but I have been on those roads…. You will need to speak with a road builder for these costs, they range from width to length and rock types in the desired road.
What is the Zoning? Know the zoning and what you can do on the different zoning types. Have a meeting with the county and get first hand information for sub-dividing or use a local surveyor who knows the steps and can help you through this process. Research county guidelines for commercial use properties before you buy. How many business options does it have? Does it have a good location for either future development or will it always be recreational? Review in detail Klickitat County Zoning information here. Here in Goldendale we have some properties that are zone 5 acre residential but because when they broke them off years ago to comply with county rules you would have to buy 20 acres join it and subdivided into 5 acre parcels to get to right to put a structure on the property that attaches to the ground, so in other words it has to be mobile in some fashion. I have seen skids on cabins and trailers. You can still drill a well and put a septic in so for some of you this might work great. I have a nice one that fronts the Little Klickitat River.
Survey/Property Lines and Corners: You want to know where the property corners and lines are. These can be identified in many ways but when in doubted get a survey before you do anything! Some will already have been surveyed and the corners are easy to find with Aerial and topographical maps. Click here to use the Klickitat Interactive Mapping program.
Nonhighway and Off-Road Vehicle Activities (NOVA) Program
The Nonhighway and Off-road Vehicle Activities program provides funding to develop and manage recreation opportunities for such activities as cross-country skiing, hiking, horseback riding, mountain bicycling, hunting, fishing, sightseeing, motorcycling, and riding all-terrain and four-wheel drive vehicles.
Except for off-road vehicle facilities, activities supported by this program must be accessed via a non-highway road, which is a public road that was not built or maintained with gasoline tax funding. Non-highway roads are found in national forests and national parks and include such popular routes as those leading to Paradise and Sunrise in Mount Rainier National Park, Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park, and Windy Ridge in the Mount Saint Helens National Volcanic Monument. Across the state, non-highway roads are used by recreationists to access rivers and forests.
Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF)
The Land and Water Conservation Fund provides funding to preserve and develop outdoor recreation resources, including parks, trails, and wildlife lands.
Congress established the fund in 1965 with the passage of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act that authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to provide financial assistance to the states for the acquisition and development of public outdoor recreation areas.

Klickitat County Washington History
Klickitat Indian History
Klikitat (Chinookan: 'beyond,' with reference to the Cascade Mountains. ). A Shahaptian tribe whose former seat was at the headwaters of the Cowlitz, Lewis, White Salmon, and Klickitat rivers, north of Columbia river, in Klickitat and Skamania Counties, Wash. Their eastern neighbors were the Yakima, who speak a closely related language, and on the west they were met by various Salishan and Chinookan tribes. In 1805 Lewis and Clark reported them as wintering on Yakima and Klickitat rivers, and estimated their number at about 700. Between 1820 and 1830 the tribes of Willamette valley were visited by an epidemic of fever and greatly reduced in numbers. Taking advantage of their weakness, the Klikitat crossed the Columbia and forced their way as far south as the valley of the Umpqua. Their occupancy of this territory was temporary, however, and they were speedily compelled to retire to their old seat north of the Columbia. The Klikitat were always active and enterprising traders, and from their favorable position became widely known as intermediaries between the coast tribes and those living east of the Cascade Range. They joined in the Yakima treaty at Camp Stevens, Wash., June 9, 1855, by which they ceded their lands to the United States. They are now almost wholly on Yakima Reservation, Wash., where they have become so merged with related tribes that an accurate estimate of their number is impossible. Of the groups still recognized on that reservation the Toppenish are probably their nearest relatives (Mooney in 14th Rep. B. A. E., 738, 1896) and may be regarded as a branch of the Klikitat, and the Taitinapam, speaking the same tongue, as another minor branch. One of the settlements of the Klikitat was Wiltkun.
The Klickitat (also spelled Klikitat) are a Native American tribe of the Pacific Northwest. A Shahaptian tribe, their eastern neighbors were the Yakama, who speak a closely related language. Their western neighbors were various Salishan and Chinookan tribes. Their name has been perpetuated in Klickitat County, Washington, Klickitat, Washington, Klickitat Street in Portland, Oregon, and the Klickitat River, a tributary of the Columbia River.
The Klickitat were noted for being active and enterprising traders, and served as intermediaries between the coastal tribes and those living east of the Cascade Mountains.
The ancestral lands of the Klickitat were situated north of the Columbia River, at the headwaters of the Cowlitz, Lewis, White Salmon, and Klickitat rivers, in present-day Klickitat and Skamania Counties. They occupied their later base after the Yakama crossed this river. In 1805, the Klickitat were encountered by the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Lewis and Clark found them wintering on the Yakima and Klickitat Rivers and estimated their number at about 700.
In the early 1850s, the Klickitat Tribe raided present-day Jackson County, Oregon from the north and settled the area. Modoc, Shasta, Takelma, Latgawas, and Umpqua Indian tribes had already lived within the present boundaries of that county.
Between 1820 and 1830, an epidemic of fever struck the tribes of the Willamette Valley. The Klickitat took advantage of the drop in population in this region and crossed the Columbia River and occupied territory occupied by the Umpqua. This was not permanent, however, as they were pushed back to their original homeland.
The Klickitat War erupted in 1855. The Klickitat capitulated and joined in the Yakima treaty at Camp Stevens on June 9, 1855. They ceded their lands to the United States. Most of them settled upon the Yakima Indian Reservation.
