THE INTERBASIN TRANSFER OF WATER: AN ISSUE OF EFFICIENCY AND EQUITY
Interbasin water transfers provide the option of redirecting water supplies to areas of high demand. Yet, water transfers may involve environmental damage or the loss of economic opportunity within the donor basin. It is essential, therefore, that a means for assessing potential impacts associated with proposed transfers and for accommodating damages be instituted to assure that water resources are being put to their highest and best use.
The following paper reviews recent experience in the United States with regard to interbasin transfers. It then presents a conceptual framework for assessing potential benefits and costs associated with water transfers and offers an approach for resolving conflicts that may allow for mutual benefit on the part of the affected parties.
