OREGON WATER LAWS Volume I of II OREGON WATER LAWS Volume I of II Oregon Water Laws Reprinted from the 2017 Edition of Oregon Revised Statutes Oregon Water Laws, a compilation of statutes relating exclusively to water law, has been published since 1911. This two-volume set contains all of Oregon water law compiled under Title 45 of the 2017 Edition of Oregon Revised Statutes. The set is not a complete collection of all Oregon statutes that might deal, however remotely, with water. At the back of Volume I, we have included portions of the 2017 ORS General Index that cite many references to water that appear in statute. Volume I, Oregon Water Laws, contains the bulk of Oregon law that is administered by the Water Resources Department. This volume includes statutes relating to water management, such as appropriation and distribution of water. Volume II, Oregon Laws Relating to Water Users’ Organizations, contains the Oregon Revised Statutes Title 45 laws relating to organizations, such as irrigation and water control districts.
