Abstract:

Water utilities in the Puget Sound region of Washington State face strict water quality standards and increasing water demands. Because of the Endangered Species Act, they are also under pressure to increase streamflows. One alternative to costly water supply development is regionalization: connecting the supply systems, promoting the transfer of water rights, and making more efficient use of existing sources.
