The Center f
or Law, Energy & the Environment (CLEE) at Berkeley Law published a new synthesis report, Information Needs for Water Markets: Fair and Effective Water Markets Require Adequate Measurement and Reporting of Diversion and Use. The report highlights the critical foundation for fair, effective water markets: comprehensive, accurate data on water diversion and use.

As California’s water data infrastructure evolves, we believe investing in and modernizing our water accounting capabilities and practices can help safeguard our communities and ecosystems.
Our CEO & President Robyn Grimm, alongside many others, helped author this important and actionable report. Read the CLEE synthesis report.
