I used to say that water rights are going to be the next political football, but it seems that has already come to pass. My town (Murphy, TX) is already in stage 3 water restrictions and more people are moving in every day. This is already a dilemma and is only going to get worse.
My question is, how do water rights work? Is it from the source, over property, does it begin and end (i.e. mine when it crosses my property but not once it leaves)? I have no idea.
What is the collective knowledge on Soonerfans regarding water rights?
