Irrigated Farm Land and Water Rights

Climate change, drought to strain Colorado River

California Water Crisis Signals Warning for Other States

Water Has Become Our Most Valuable Resource. The future is in ownership of the Water Rights.

Those looking for safe haven, preservation and growth for their investment dollars are realizing that food and water, the basics to sustaining life have a big future. It is estimated that that the world’s population will grow by another three billion hungry people over the next twenty five short years. There are two things that will not change, the world is not adding any more land and the planet is not adding any more water. Those who own and control Water Rights, when managed right, these limited resources have little long term risk, the future growth in demand is virtually guaranteed. Many basins are already closed to additional Water Rightsbeing issued.

Nevada Land

Nevada is a federal-land state. Lands were generally acquired from the federal government or from other individuals. The first U.S. District Land Office was opened in Carson City, Nevada, in 1864. The BLM, 300 Booth Street, Box 12000, Reno, NV 89520, has records involving transactions through Nevada's land offices. The Nevada State Library, Division of Archives and Records, has Carson County (Utah Territory) land records and land patents for the state. Federal land records for Nevada can also be found at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and at the National Archives II (Cartographic Division) in College Park, MD. Water is regulated by The State Engineers Office.

Mining dominated the economy and politics of the state for a half century. In 1866 alone there were 200 mining districts that acted roughly as a court system in that they recorded deeds, transferred titles to claims, drew abstracts, and recorded a variety of land instruments. Documents related to mining and minerals may be found at the county level at the Nevada State Library, Division of Archives and Records. The archives also has mining corporation papers, 1861–1926. Those after 1926 are at the Nevada Secretary of State's Office. Other holdings at the archives include state mine inspection records, 1909–74, for operating mines. The focus today has changed, from mining claims to water rights. The Gold Rush Continues!

Today's Investors are buying water rights. Who is buying these Water Rights?

Water Rights laws and use are complicated, yet many parcels with water rights are available today, some at very reasonable prices.

The Gold rush continues, Water Rights will worth more than oil in the not too distant future.
