Water is a publicly-owned resource in Oregon, meaning property owners need government approval for many of its uses. “The system of appropriation has been in place since 1909 in Oregon" per Oregon Water Resources Dept https://www.opb.org/article/2024/03/13/oregon-enforces-water-rights-small-farmers-feel-consequences/
