Short summary
The western US relies heavily on irrigation water which is allocated following local water rights. We develop and test a novel model that explicitly integrates water rights into a conceptual hydrologic model to spatially allocate irrigation water. The model well captures the timing and magnitude of irrigation water allocation in our study area and is applicable to semi-arid regions with similar water right regulations. The results could inform future water policies and management decisions.
