Yakima Water Transfer Working Group

The Yakima Water Transfer Working Group (YWTWG) is a voluntary team of agencies and water users that meet to provide technical review of proposed water right transfers in the Yakima basin. The YWTWG process guides applicants to those types of water right changes and transfers that can quickly and easily gain approval from the state. Speed, certainty and convenience are important factors for drought year water right transfers. Questions and Answers about the Yakima Water Transfer Working Group
