Sure, but the dude in the video was talking about over a million gallons. Are you operating on that scale? If you are, kudos for working in legaltech but also playing fast and loose in your leisure time.

Fair enough. Looking at this: https://www.oregon.gov/owrd/programs/WaterRights/Pages/default.aspx https://www.oregon.gov/owrd/programs/WaterRights/Pages/defau... It would be interesting to see if they got a permit for it. The other thing is that, if the water design helps increase available water downstream, then the downstream water right holders who are able to fully fill their tanks have no reason to demand shutdown upstream (assuming the downstream has senior rights)

Here’s a 2014 application for 80 acre feet of water reservoir in Oregon, led by Millison. It was granted in 2015, and involved several agencies and consultants. https://www.permacultureintl.com/water-rights-application https://www.permacultureintl.com/water-rights-application

A million gallons is a lot, but it’s only a cube 51 feet on a side. https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/science/million-gallons-water-how-much-it#overview https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/sci...

  50 feet is a pretty long. As a cube that would be close to 5 stories tall. I think the point you are trying to make is water volumes get big fast and the point I was making to GP was if you are gonna be messing around with large volumes of water please get some permits so you don't flood your neighbors.

    Yeah, the most surprising thing was it is only 25,000 bathtubs - once could conceive of easily adding storage area to land that was 25,000 depressions, assuming the land was a few sq miles. Or one largish pond.
