I don't have time to watch the video but I know the story. They want to make people who irrigate to grow food for sale, even at farmers markets, get water rights permits. Getting a permit can take over a year. The rule has kind of been on the books for a long time, but not applied to small places and backyard farms. There's also some rate of use stuff in there and I don't remember the specifics.
A few years ago, they wanted to charge everyone on a well. Not sure how they were going to do that.
The idea is to mitigate the impact of groundwater depletion, which is a real thing. The problem is that we have a far left state government and they don't use common sense when they apply laws like this. Or maybe they are thinking it through and just get squirrely about people being able to feed themselves?
Anyway, water flowing and in the ground belongs to the people in Oregon. It is regulated for the good of the people by the government that loves you!
Here is the Oregon water rights pdf if anyone wants to dig through it.
