Water Rights in Utah
2008
Water rights in Utah, as in other Western states are founded on the doctrine of “prior appropriation” and are administered by the State Engineer. All waters are public property in Utah (UT Water Rights, 2005). The State Engineer’s office also directs the adjudication or re-adjudication of water rights, along with licensing of well drillers, dam safety, stream alteration, and water rights enforcement.
