As used in ORS 543.765, "water right" means a water use established by an adjudication under ORS chapter 539 as evidenced by a court decree or a certificated ground water or surface water right that is issued for some use other than for hydroelectric power and that serves as the underlying water right for an application to use water for hydroelectric purposes. [2007 c.657 §1]
Note: 543.760 and 543.765 were enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but were not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 543 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
