Water rights are the legal rights to use water from a source on or near a property — critical for irrigation in many regions.
Water rights are legally recognized entitlements to use water from a defined source, governed by state law and often tied to or separate from land ownership.
In many areas, especially the West, water rights heavily influence farmland value and productivity. Rules vary by state, so they warrant careful review.
Irrigated farmland with secure water rights may be valued differently from comparable land without them.
