Your Local Water Bank
Okanogan CD is working with the county to provide our communities with a locally administered water bank. This water bank project is brought to you by the Okanogan Conservation District and with funding from The Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) as well as the Washington State Conservation Commission (WSCC).
Benefits of a local water bank:
​​​
-
A locally administered bank
-
Protects water rights from relinquishment
-
Prevents downstream and out of basin water right transfers
-
Provides water for agricultural and domestic use (dependent on the type of water right)
