Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation tells the story of how users in California have come to reallocate their water through markets. I attempt to improve upon earlier work and explain what changed within water marketing as well as why things changed. Using regression analysis to analyze these changes is difficult because of the tremendous heterogeneity among users and because discrete changes in the laws do not correspond immediately to transfer activity. I use regression analysis in what follows, but understanding water marketing evolution necessitates case studies and a historical understanding as well. Therefore, I present a lot of history to place these recent changes in context, changes that many argue spurred recent market development. I discuss the different types of water transfers and present data on their trends and development, and then explain what changes mattered over time, bolstered by regressions using a fairly complete 30 year transfer dataset. Underlying much of my work, and especially part II, is the notion that murky water rights in California affect water marketing. To show how water rights affect water markets, I explain how they are murky in California by focusing on the administration of water rights and the institutional structure in California, and then I show how these notions hinder markets. Furthermore, I contrast California with Wyoming, the originator of the Wyoming water right system upon which California's system is based. Despite their similarities on paper, Wyoming's water right institutions and administration are different, and these differences produce different outcomes. Lastly, I use groundwater basin data to understand how California's unregulated resource affects transferability of surface water. Part I: Starting in the late 1950s, economists argued that reallocation through water marketing would be a more efficient way to accommodate new water demands. However, water transfers have been essentially invisible until 1990. What explains this change, and what doesn't? This section reviews this history of water marketing and the major changes affecting water markets, providing a narrative for understanding how water has been reallocated in California through markets and by other means. This narrative highlights the continuity between early administrative decisions and the outcomes today, whereas previous research explaining recent water market trends emphasizes the importance of recent water market legislation (without comprehending the genesis of these changes). A careful analysis shows that many of the legal changes have little causal effect on California's water market. Using a more comprehensive and accurate dataset than in previous research, this paper also explains the trends in water marketing. Part II: In what ways does the water right system affect marketing? One way to understand how California's water right system affects marketing is to understand Wyoming's system. Both Wyoming and California have appropriative right systems, but the tenets of appropriative water law do not simply apply to California. I explain how Wyoming's system is much cleaner, and present some data to show that this has real effects on the ground. In addition, because California water marketing data only show who actually does participate in the market, transfers that fail are ignored. To grasp why transfers fail is as important in understanding why they develop, and I present examples of the numerous transfers that failed in California as a result of murky water rights. Finally, I use groundwater data to lend support to the contention that murky water rights hinder a district's ability to transfer water.
Download or read book Water Transfers in the West written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American West faces many challenges, but none is more important than the challenge of managing its water. This book examines the role that water transfers can play in allocating the region's scarce water resources. It focuses on the variety of third parties, including Native Americans, Hispanic communities, rural communities, and the environment, that can sometimes be harmed when water is moved. The committee presents recommendations to guide states, tribes, and federal agencies toward better regulation. Seven in-depth case studies are presented: Nevada's Carson-Truckee basin, the Colorado Front Range, northern New Mexico, Washington's Yakima River basin, central Arizona, and the Central and Imperial valleys in California. Water Transfers in the West presents background and current information on factors that have encouraged water transfers, typical types of transfers, and their potential negative effects. The book highlights the benefits that water transfers can bring but notes the need for more third-party representation in the processes used to evaluate planned transfers.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water shortages are a frequent occurrence in some river basins in the American West. With growing water demand in many of these basins, competition over water resources is intensifying. Water marketing is one method of easing the strain over water; those with water rights can lease or sell their water to parties with the highest willingness to pay. This solution involves only willing parties, and allows water to move to its highest economic use. Despite the merits of an economics-driven, voluntary water transfer system, markets have thus far been limited in moving water across uses. Several reasons exist for this stagnation. In order to effectively reallocate water, markets need a "helping" hand. This study identifies methods which may have the effect of allowing transfers of water at low cost, while still adequately protecting third-party impacts. While water transfers may never be seamless transactions, it may be possible to make them efficient enough to allow markets to move water to higher economic uses during times of shortage. This research uses SWOT analysis to explore the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of selected facilitating techniques. This is done to gain a better understanding of the options available to policy makers to create water transaction environments that protect the public interest, but allow willing parties to transfer water at low cost. The results from the expert survey conducted suggest that some of the facilitating environments identified in this research may have the potential of lower transaction costs and increase the amount of water traded. However, for this to occur, some compromises may have to be reached; each of these techniques also posses drawbacks that could prevent their implementation. Ultimately, policy makers will have to weigh the political and social resistance to moving water away from low-value historical water uses verses the need to reallocate water to increase the available water supply for new uses.
Download or read book Water Markets written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined how federal revenues could be increased through market transfers of Bureau of Reclamation-provided water, focusing on: (1) whether such transfers would increase federal revenues; (2) how the Bureau could increase its revenues from transferred water; and (3) what issues the Bureau should consider in establishing water transfer charges. GAO found that: (1) many irrigators pay only a portion of their share of construction costs and are exempt from interest charges; (2) water transfers to municipal and industrial users could increase revenues, since these users pay rates based on their full share of construction costs and interest; (3) water transfers to other irrigators, fish and wildlife habitats, and recreation areas would not increase revenues because these users do not pay their full share of construction costs; (4) the Bureau does not specify how water transfer charges will be determined, but there are a number of ways the Bureau could increase revenues under existing laws; (5) changes in reclamation laws would allow the Bureau to charge users current Treasury rates where authorizing legislation specifies a lower interest rate; (6) the Bureau needs to balance increasing federal revenues with retaining incentives for water transfers, since high charges will discourage some transfers and preclude economic efficiency; and (7) charges for water transfers need to be set on a case-by-case basis because of the different factors affecting transfer incentives.
Download or read book Markets for Water written by K. William Easter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-08-20 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Markets for Water: Potential and Performance dispels many of the myths surrounding water markets and gives readers a comprehensive picture of the way that markets have developed in different parts of the world. It is possible, for example, for a water market to fail, and for the transaction costs in water markets to be excessive. Too often water trading is banned because the water resources have been developed with public funds and the water agencies do not want to lose control over water. There is also a concern that poor farmers or households will be disadvantaged by water trading. These concerns about public resources and the poor are not very different from those that have been voiced in the past about land sales. The problem is that in many cases the poor already have limited access to resources, but this limit is not due to water trading. In fact, water trading is likely to expand the access to water for many small-scale farmers. Markets for Water: Potential and Performance provides an analytical framework for water market establishment. It develops the necessary conditions for water markets and illustrates how they can improve both water management and economic efficiency. Finally, the book gives readers an up-to-date picture of what we have learned about water markets in a wide range of countries, from the US to Chile and India.
