Water Right Application "Red Books"

Revised: January 6, 2021

Prior to computerization and the creation of the water rights database basic application information was recorded in a series of large red hardbound folios for quick reference. These have been scanned and made available here as PDF document. Please note that these are HUGE files, exceeding 200 MB in some cases, with hundreds of pages each. They will take some time to download. It is recommended that you right-click on the link to a particular book and save the file to your computer rather than trying to view it directly in your browser.
