Freshwater, i.e. non-salinated water, is arguably the most precious resource on earth, and in Oregon, by law, all water belongs to the public. However, if you examine who actually controls water usage in Oregon, you might come away with a very different impression.
Water rights, and the laws that govern them, are incredibly consequential for both humans and ecosystems, and will only become more so in the coming years and decades.
A few months ago, I attended a talk by Christopher Hall, executive director of The Water League, focused on Oregon’s push to modernize our water code in the 2025 legislative session.
I came away from that talk fired up about water rights, and I’m excited to be joined by him today to talk about The Water League’s efforts to reform Oregon’s water codes
