Montana Water Trust

Posted on September 10 2005

Montana Water Trust does good work, extending the state’s practice of purchasing water rights to ensure adequate stream flows for native trout. “Brianna Randall, a Montana Water Trust development associate, said the agreements take many forms, running the gamut from long-term leases to installing more efficient irrigation systems and then leasing the water that’s saved for in-stream use. Montana is one of just a few states that recognize in-stream flows as a beneficial use of water. The Legislature changed the state’s water code in 1995 to allow water rights holders to transfer some or all of their water rights to in-stream use.” Perry Backus in the Missoulian.
