Water Rights Leasing FAQs
LandApp earns revenues through our subscription-based toolkit, which is engineered for energy developers to plan and manage their projects. Energy companies also use LandGate to view landowner listings and evaluate parcels of interest.
Landowners can lease their water rights to others who need water for various purposes, such as irrigation, industrial processes, or municipal water supply.
The terms of a water lease vary depending on the specific situation, but generally, the lease agreement will outline the amount of water being leased, the duration of the lease, and any conditions or restrictions on the use of the water.
Water rights refer to the legal entitlement to use water from a particular source. In the United States, water rights are typically allocated by state governments and are based on a “first in time, first in right” principle. This means that the person or entity that first established a claim to the water source has the most senior water right and is entitled to use the water before anyone else.
Water rights are different across the United States because water law is primarily a matter of state law. Each state has its own system for allocating water rights, which can vary significantly in terms of how water is allocated, who is eligible to hold the rights, and how water is managed during times of scarcity.
Riparian water rights are a common law principle that gives landowners adjacent to a water source the right to use that water as long as they don’t harm other users.
Groundwater is regulated differently than surface water, and some states have different systems for allocating groundwater rights. In some states, landowners have the right to use the groundwater beneath their property, while in others, groundwater is considered a public resource that is subject to state allocation.
Littoral water rights are a type of water rights that pertain to landowners with land bordering large bodies of water, such as navigable lakes and oceans.

“[LandApp] has done this great marriage of risk reduction and opportunity to find additional revenue sources that we can go transact on right here in the same moment. That is a blend that I haven’t seen any other tool do.”
Alicia Shepherd

“There is so much great data on LandApp! This information is so important for landowners to make educated decisions when selling or leasing their property. We are also able to advertise listings to a different type of buyer than we would normally see in the local MLS's.”
Matthew Curry
Land Broker, eXp Realty
"I can set myself apart from the competition in a hurry. I'm able to generate a report on a property in seconds and give a landowner a very comprehensive report on virtually everything that matters. I could go on but I promise if you try LandApp, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!"
Wayne Dunson
Land Broker, National Land Realty
"I listed my property on LandApp and very quickly received 12 competitive offers to lease my property for a solar project from reputable companies. After some due diligence and discussions, I was able to execute a solar lease... thanks to all the folks at LandGate!"
Joette Schalla
Landowner & Broker, Fay Ranches
"Our son Brad Belser was able to list one of our Fulton County, IL properties on the LandApp platform. We very quickly received interest in the property for a solar project from a reputable company. Without LandGate this process would not have been so easy!"
