| Description | Under Initiative 502, Washington voters in 2013 approved licensing for the production, possession, delivery, and sale of cannabis. The initiative makes cannabis subject to the same water use regulations as any other commercial crop in Washington state. Water availability for outdoor growing operations can vary significantly from county to county or water source to water source. Generally, outdoor growing operations have three options for supplying water to plants: * Obtaining water from a water right purveyor such as a public utility district or irrigation district. * Relying on the water right permit exemption for small uses of water. * Obtaining a water right permit. |
