To explore how western states are addressing the allocation of tightening fresh water supplies amidst growth, the Board of Advisors and additional authors of this article consider how each of eleven states has addressed the relationship between land development and water resources, whether local jurisdictions are required to consider water resources when planning for growth and reviewing project approvals, or whether the state water agencies must address land use planning. The authors’ goal is to provide the 2017 Dividing the Waters General Conference a summary of each state’s approach sufficient for the judges to discuss commonalities and differences.
