Why Water ?

Water markets are in their infancy, thus their success varies widely, making it difficult to provide an overall picture of emerging trends. Some water markets are thriving with activity, while others stagnate with only a handful of transactions occurring each year. Understanding these differences and why they occur is essential. The following links provide a good overview of the development of water markets within the United States, as well as internationally.
