Description A pilot project for buying and leasing water rights is currently underway as part of the Columbia River Basin Water Management Program (Chapter 90.90 RCW). Washington will use the water rights acquired through this project to improve stream flows, to provide water to interruptible water right holders in times of drought, and to issue new water rights. This pilot serves as a short-term, streamlined strategy while a longterm program is created.
