Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Water rights are acquired under law and identify the privilege to use the water accruing in surface or groundwater for a specified purpose in a given manner and usually within the limits of a given time period.

Basically, it is a legal right accorded to owners of landed properties to have the exclusive rights and permission to use or have access to a body of water from sources such as a stream, river, groundwater etc., which are based on state and national laws.

Some examples of specific purposes a water right may cover are irrigation, drinking, bathing and other domestic use.
