AI-generated summary, reviewed by Better Utah staff.
Utah's Division of Water Resources, working with the Division of Water Rights, must conduct a statewide study examining all water diversions currently classified as "agricultural" — meaning water drawn for farming, livestock, orchards, or aquaculture — to determine how many such diversions exist, what volume of water they pull, and how much of that water is actually being used for non-agricultural purposes. The division must report its findings and any recommendations for legislative action to the Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment Interim Committee by November 30, 2026.
