“If we get to the point where we have to declare a Level 1 Water Emergency, we need to be ready for that and we have no precedent to follow. There’s no manual, there’s no video. There’s a monumental task ahead of us to develop this.” texasobserver.org/corpus-christi…

7) In Chapter 2 of Water Markets for Texas, you can read about the creation of the Middle & Lower Rio Grande water market. Finally, I am drafting a framework for a similar water market for the Colorado River. waterdisputes.org/wp-content/upl… #watermarkets #ColoradoRiver

6) While converting established surface water rights from prior appropriation to correlative rights seems farfetched, the Rio Grande water market was established after water use drought resulted in a crisis that eventually fell to a court for resolution. waterdisputes.org/wp-content/upl…

5) Under the new rules irrigation rights could be converted to municipal and industrial rights through a process that would reduce the volume of the original irrigation right by half. waterdisputes.org/wp-content/upl… #watermarkets #ColoradoRiver

4) In the new system the original time priority was replaced by a use priority. In 1971, the water market was born when the Texas Water Rights Commission put rules in place for trading rights in this system with oversight by the Rio Grande Water Master. waterdisputes.org/wp-content/upl…

3) Under the judgement in that case all prior appropriation surface water rights were converted to correlative rights based on storage in two international reservoirs upstream, Falcon and Amistad. waterdisputes.org/wp-content/upl… #watermarkets #ColoradoRiver

2) In 1969, the judgment in Texas v. Hidalgo County Water Control and Improvement District 18 set the stage for the establishment of a #watermarket in the Middle & Lower sections of the #RioGrande in #Texas. waterdisputes.org/wp-content/upl… #ColoradoRiver

1) As the future of the #ColoradoRiver hangs in the balance many potential solutions have been advanced to address the system’s chronic water shortages. One solution in particular, the establishment of a #watermarket, deserves serious consideration. waterdisputes.org/wp-content/upl…
