Information Needs for Water Markets: Fair and Effective Water Markets Require Adequate Measurement and Reporting of Diversion and Use
Abstract
When appropriately designed and implemented, water markets can enhance climate resilience for people and ecosystems in water-scarce regions. However, adequate information about water diversion and use is a necessary precursor. Based on expert discussions and additional research, this report explores what information on surface water and groundwater diversion and use is currently available in the U.S. Southwest, what diversion and use information is needed to support fair and effective water markets, and how existing information gaps can be addressed.
