结论

Water Management Challenges

  • Water managers today face many challenges, including aging infrastructure, water quality concerns, depleting groundwater aquifers, climate change effects on water availability, uncertain water supply, and public demands for low-cost water.
  • The traditional way of solving water problems — by increasing access to surface water and groundwater supplies — is often no longer viable, because such water sources are mostly allocated or over-allocated.

Water Management, Partnership, and Market Trends

  • Today, communities and water management agencies seek to conserve and manage existing water resources more effectively.
  • Water managers are now using more nontraditional sources, including reclaimed water, stormwater runoff, and some desalinated water. Wastewater is becoming a valuable asset.
  • Collaborations and partnerships for water planning and sharing of supply and infrastructure play an important role in regional, state, and local water planning and management and are likely to increase.
  • Many water market experiments are being used to reallocate existing supplies to meet growing demands, but they are in their infancy.

Implications and Opportunities for Army Installations

  • Water markets will provide future opportunities for Army installations.
  • Water rights are becoming more important. Some installations are at risk of losing some water rights; water rights need to be actively managed and considered for all water sources, including surface water, groundwater, effluent, and stormwater runoff.
  • State and local governments play a key role in planning and managing water sources and rights, and are a partnership opportunity for Army installations.
  • Traditional installation water partnerships, such as Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESCs), can be useful tools.
摘要

This report assesses existing water market mechanisms (such as water banking and auctions) and partnership opportunities that Army installations can potentially use to improve installation water programs and their investments in water and wastewater systems. Because such mechanisms and opportunities depend on water management practices and water rights, the report also provides an overview of these areas. In addition, the report provides examples from across the United States, along with detailed case studies of these issues within Colorado and Fort Carson and within Arizona and Fort Huachuca.

Water management today faces some key challenges, including aging infrastructure, water quality concerns, depleting groundwater aquifers, uncertain water supplies, pressures of population growth, climate change effects on water availability, and continued public demands for low-cost water. The traditional way of solving water problems — by increasing access to new surface water and groundwater supplies — is often no longer viable. Such water sources are mostly allocated, and in many cases over-allocated. Today, many water managers are focused on conservation, efficient management, and accessing alternative water sources (such as treated wastewater and stormwater runoff). Water markets and partnerships are also being used in select cases. Given such water management, partnership, and market trends, the report concludes with recommendations about how Army policies and activities can be adjusted to improve installations' water security, programs, and infrastructure investments.
