SEO Title: Washington State Water Rights Available

AgriBusiness Trading Group is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire 550.7 ± acre-feet of Washington State water rights currently located within the Ice Harbor Pool on the Snake River system. The water rights authorize an instantaneous flow rate of 4.1 ± cubic feet per second, or approximately 1,532.3 ± gallons per minute, providing a substantial water supply for a variety of end uses. This offering represents a strategically positioned, transferable water asset supplied by one of the Pacific Northwest’s most highly regarded water sources.

 

The water rights are associated with two groundwater right certificates that have historically supported orchard irrigation in the region and are now available independently of the underlying farmland, creating flexibility for a wide range of end users.

 

Following a review by the Washington State Department of Ecology, the wells serving these rights have been determined to be in hydraulic continuity with the Snake and Columbia Rivers, thereby allowing them to be transferred within the same place of use. This designation allows for the transfer of water rights within the Ice Harbor Pool and the McNary Pool on the Columbia River, downstream along the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean, or to other qualifying wells in hydraulic continuity with the river system. In addition, the Columbia River permitting framework allows for seasonal irrigation rights to be converted to year-round use, expanding potential applications to municipal and industrial uses.

 

Water rights of this scale and flexibility are increasingly difficult to secure in Washington State. Unlike many western markets experiencing curtailment and regulatory instability, Washington’s surface water rights, particularly those tied to the Columbia River system, are widely regarded as highly reliable assets.

 

This offering provides a unique opportunity to acquire a stand-alone, transferable water resource with both immediate utility and long-term strategic value.
