Water Rights

Developing strategic solutions to complex water issues - competing, complex and seemingly contradictory water rights systems can make solutions to water supply, water cost, drought response and water conservation challenges appear elusive or even impossible. These complexities can be further compounded as issues of water quality more frequently interplay with water supply and availability.

This live webinar helps both those working in government responsible for managing and protecting water rights and quality and those in private industry whose duties demand an understanding of the legal, financial and practical underpinnings of a reliable and clean supply of water. The webinar also explains the water rights systems used by different states around the U.S. as well as the interplay between those state systems, federal systems and Tribal water rights. Failing to have a full and complete understanding of the basic rules governing the establishment and protection of water supply and water

rights can threaten continuous water supply from responsible government agencies and enormous unexpected and sometimes fatal costs or other challenges for private companies. This webinar is important to anyone needing a current understanding of the challenges of water rights and supply which are grounded in history but changing and evolving quickly.
