[QUOTE="MJB, post: 430198, member: 1222"] These trenches were generally dug by a small company who "owned" the water that ran through them. If miners wanted the water to wash their dirt they would have to pay for the water. As everyone wanted water to wash their dirt, the water "owners" could charge a premium. These water races could run for many miles and the Daylesford/Hepburn region is a good example of this. [/QUOTE]
