Water Rights Map/POD
WR Map/POD - Water Rights maps are created by the Water Management Branch. These maps reconcile a Point of Diversion (POD) and other features of a licence, e.g. pipeline, dwelling, appurtenant land, to a geographic location. Each Water Rights map has a unique number, located in the bottom right corner. The WR Map/POD search field is optimally used if you are physically working with a Water Rights map.
- Licences can have one or many Points of Diversion ("the place on the natural channel of a stream where an applicant proposes, or a licensee is authorized, to divert water from the stream." Water Regulation)
- A Point of Diversion can have one or many licences (e.g., a shared intake)
Query Tips:
The WR Map/POD search field contains an embedded wild card. You can search by either:
- Whole Mapsheet, e.g. 5350 - which would list all PODs contained on mapsheet 5350, or by
- Mapsheet and POD letter, e.g. 5350 Y - which would list only POD Y (and possibly YY)
Note: All POD identifiers also contain a system-generated points code (e.g. PD61921) |
