Water Transfer Working Group
Ecology home | Water supply | Water Transfer Working Group | Meetings
The Water Transfer Working Group (WTWG) is a voluntary team of agency representatives, water managers, and water users who provide technical review of proposed water right transfers in the Yakima River basin. The group identifies water right transfers that could be quickly and easily approved.
WTWG reviews water right transfer proposals submitted by prospective water users in the Yakima River basin. The group uses a predetermined set of guidelines intended to protect other water rights and the Yakima River and tributary streams.
If WTWG determines a proposed transfer is consistent with the guidelines, they will indicate that the water right transfer is recommended. This determination will likely increase the chance the applicant will receive approval from Yakima County Superior Court or Ecology. WTWG will help applicants make adjustments so their proposed transfers can be recommended. If a proposed transfer is not recommended, the applicant is still free to apply to Ecology or the court for approval.
