- Description:
- In most areas of the United States the allocation of water is conducted according to legal rather than economic principles. Changes - economic, social, and technological - occur which require accommodation in the use and allocation of water to achieve the maximum economic value from the water supply. Water banking has evolved as a concept to facilitiate the flexibility of water use via market forces while recognizing existing legal water rights as secure property rights. Recognizing the inflexibility and inefficiency of water use and the constraints on water transfers in Idaho, the Idaho state legislature authorized the establishment of a Water Supply Bank to be operated by the Idaho Water Resource Board. This study explores the legal, financial, and economic feasibility of the Water Supply Bank in Idaho.
