Water Supply Planning

In the arid West, increased competition for water by municipal,
agricultural and environmental interests has rendered the acquisition
and development of dependable water supplies a difficult task.

In addition to traditional supply dependability and economic goals,
consideration must be given to instream flows, reserved rights, endangered
species and other objectives in developing solutions to water resources
problems.  The multitude of local, state and federal regulations and
permitting requirements have also added to the complexity.

SWE has developed an understanding of the influences and limitations
associated with competing objectives and the various governmental
regulations that affect the development and use of water supplies.  SWE
strives to plan and develop practical and dependable water supplies within
the budgetary constraints of its clients.  This often requires innovative
solutions to make the most efficient use of available supplies, particularly
in regions where the water supply is limited and/or overappropriated.
