Water has been traditionally viewed as an inexhaustible commodity that should be available to everyone at little to no cost. Recently, this view has started to change as the demand for more clean water for drinking, wildlife habitat, and pollution reduction increases. In order to bring this demand for clean water into balance with supply, water markets are evolving. Within a water market system, prices are not regulated, but are set by the free exchange of water rights. With water rights defined, water markets allow owners to make decisions about how this vital natural resource is used or protected.

There are many regulatory controls that have been put into place in order to protect biodiversity. Incentive-based market programs are emerging as a mechanism to compensate landowners for actively protecting biodiversity. As the cost associated with introducing new environmental controls continues to increase, federal, state, and local governments are now turning to market mechanisms to actively conserve biodiversity. These market mechanisms include; bank and trade systems, conservation easements, tax incentives, and government-funded programs. FORECON EMS has the ability to recognize and subsequently develop an ecological resource value for various ecological assets. The value from an ecological asset or bank can come in the form of increased land value, tradable mitigation credits, or by offsetting regulatory compliance obligations.
