A small firm with deep expertise

New Branch Water is a small, independent consulting business based in California. We work directly with farmers, ranchers, water districts, and individual water rights holders to prepare accurate and timely Supplemental Statements of Water Diversion and Use for the SWRCB.

If you've been putting off your water statement filings because it feels complicated or confusing, you've come to the right place. We make it manageable.

Protect your water rights

Under California Water Code, most water rights holders are required to file annual Supplemental Statements of Water Diversion and Use with the SWRCB. It sounds straightforward, but the forms can be confusing, and the consequences of not filing — or filing incorrectly — are real.

We take your water rights seriously because we know how much they matter to you and your operation.
