Water Policy & Economics
We frame the opportunities and quantify the risks that inform water resource planning.
Throughout the western U.S., the laws, regulations, and policies that govern both the development and use of water are evolving rapidly. This changing environment has profound implications for water-resource decisions. Projects requiring long lead times and large capital investments — power plants, mines, industrial operations, and municipal or private developments — need to conform to existing water laws and regulations; they must also be flexible enough to adjust to future legal, policy, and regulatory changes. We help our clients anticipate these changes to ensure the long-term viability of their operations.
