So, the state of Utah views ALL water in the state as owned by the people of the state. Therefore any water found on your property is actually owned by the people, and to use it, you must receive approval from the appropriate government entity.
There is an interesting pamphlet put out in 2012. Please click on the link below to check out the 16 page pamphlet (in .PDF format). This is a great full color document with illustrations, graphs, background of the state, etc. Did you know that Utah is the 2nd most arid state in the country?
