Abstract
Utah water rights transactions take place within a framework of water rights law. The purpose of this study is to consider the legal aspects of water marketing in the state, and to look at the law relating to changes in ownership, nature of use, place of use, and point of diversion. The background is laid by considering Utah water rights acquisition law. Then the system of changes and exchanges through the State Engineer's Office is examined, followed by analysis of other water rights entitlement transfers. Special problem areas, such as federal water rights and federal water transfers and interstate water transfers, are considered. Finally, there is an evaluation of the Utah water rights transfer system.
