1. A method comprising:
- maintaining, by a water rights analysis system, a water rights database comprising water rights data representative of one or more water rights administered by a water rights agency;
providing, by the water rights analysis system for display by a user device, a graphical user interface including an interactive geo-reference base layer;
receiving, by the water rights analysis system from the user device, a search query defined by user input provided by a user of the user device;
identifying, based on the search query, a geographic search area;
searching, by the water rights analysis system, the water rights database to identify relevant water rights data, the relevant water rights data comprising water rights data for water rights having one or more geo-referenced water rights data elements located within the geographic search area; and
providing, by the water rights analysis system for display by the user device on the geo-reference base layer, one or more graphical elements representing at least a subset of the relevant water rights data,wherein the one or more graphical elements comprises at least one of a change line representing a change in a point of diversion, a change line representing a change in a place of use, and an exchange line representing a water right exchange.

20. A method comprising:
-
providing, by a user device for display on a display device associated with the user device, a graphical user interface including an interactive geo-reference base layer; receiving, by the user device, user input defining a search query; transmitting, by the user device, the search query to a water rights analysis system for identification of a geographic search area; and providing, by the user device for display on the interactive geo-reference base layer, the geographic search area and one or more graphical elements representing relevant water rights data, wherein the relevant water rights data comprises water rights data for water rights having at least one geo-referenced water rights data element located within the geographic search area, and the one or more graphical elements comprises at least one of a change line representing a change in a point of diversion, a change line representing a change in a place of use, and an exchange line representing a water right exchange. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)

24. A water rights analysis system comprising:
-
a water rights database comprising water rights data representative of water rights administered by a water rights agency; a GIS dataset that correlates to geo-referenced water rights data in the water rights database; a search module configured to receive a search query from a user device and search the water rights database to identify one or more relevant water rights; and a display module configured to display one or more graphical elements representing one or more geo-referenced water rights data elements of the one or more relevant water rights, wherein the one or more graphical elements comprises at least one of a change line representing a change in a point of diversion, a change line representing a change in a place of use, and an exchange line representing a water right exchange.

25. A method comprising:
-
maintaining, by a water rights analysis system, a water rights database comprising water rights data representative of one or more water rights administered by a water rights agency; receiving, by the water rights analysis system from a user device, user input to define a search query, the user input specifying an owner name or a real property parcel; searching, by the water rights analysis system, the water rights database to identify relevant water rights data, wherein the relevant water rights data comprises water rights data corresponding to the owner name or the real property parcel; and presenting, by the water rights analysis system for display on the user device, one or more graphical elements representing one or more geo-referenced water rights data elements of the relevant water rights data, wherein the one or more graphical elements comprises at least one of a change line representing a change in a point of diversion, a change line representing a change in a place of use, and an exchange line representing a water right exchange.
