prior appropriation, roughly on a
first come, first served basis. For
such rights, the land’s location is
relatively immaterial.
The man who gets there first
may continue to exercise all his
water rights, even though there
is insufficient water to satisfy the
man who come second. If there
is a water shortage, the seconds
usually must cease their diversions
of water.
With increasing demands o n
water supplies, some easterners
seeking more practical policies to
underlie a system of water rights,
are becoming interested in prior
appropriation. Prior appropriation
has the advantage of making it
easier to tell who gets what water
when and who gets cut off and at
what point. Sometimes the type
and method to use is given consi
deration along with time of use.
Following a doctrine of prior
use, Oregon makes no provision
for a landowner to file for water
rights against some intended use
in the future but requires that the
applicant make use of the water
on the designated land under a per
mit system before a right is grant
