    • S&T Project 20088 Data: Upper Colorado Basin - Water Rights Core Data

    Metadata Updated: January 16, 2026

    Upper Colorado Basin Water Rights Core Dataset. The Water Right structure is fundamentally complex because of the varied legal parameters between the 17 Western States requiring water right subject matter experts to update and maintain the meta data. The water right data schema process involved recording the technical data schema, water right attribute data values and definitions, data diagrams, data workflows and processes, and data research sources. The current Water Rights Information Management System was loaded on data coming from the Western States Water Council water rights system, which at the time contained 81,210 Water Rights, 17,462 Water Sources, and 96,937 Water Sites.
