Water Resources Market Services

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.
