Water Management, Partnerships, Rights, and Market Trends: An Overview for Army Installation Managers

Abstract

This study assesses existing water market mechanisms (such as water banking and auctions) and partnership opportunities that Army installations can potentially use to improve installation water programs and their investments in drinking and wastewater systems. Because such mechanisms and opportunities depend on water-management practices and water rights, the study also provides an overview of these areas. In addition, the report provides detailed case studies of these issues within Colorado and Fort Carson and within Arizona and Fort Huachuca. Lastly, the report provides recommendations about how Army policies and activities can be adjusted to improve installations' water security, programs, and infrastructure investments.
