This webinar explored the challenges water systems face when entering into agreements and partnerships with other water systems. The webinar examined a variety of partnership models, but focused primarily on agreements to sell and buy water under different conditions.

The webinar examined agreement challenges and strategies that take into consideration local water supply objectives to help determine if the agreement is being used to provide a permanent water supply, a time limited water supply that allows for postponement of new facilities,  a periodic water supply during times of drought or peak demand,  or an emergency water supply times during times of crisis.

The webinar included a brief overview of water system agreements and common challenges and the presentation of several example case study scenarios. Participants had the opportunity to provide their opinions about how they evaluate entering into different types of agreements under different circumstances.
