Program The importance of the marketing and
~~ transfer of water rights to western
resource policy has continued to
grow in 1987. The trend is clear-
the reallocation of existing water
rights is the primary source of water
for growth in the west. Many recent
water supply challenges have been
met through the continued transfer
and exchange of water entitlements.
These water transactions have
brought profits to many parties,
problems to local areas and policy
challenges for public officials.

On October 8th and 9th, Water
Marketing 1987: Profits, Problems
and Policies in the Western United
States will be presented by the
University of Denver College of Law's
Natural Resources Program and
Watershed West, a policy network
of senior water professionals.
This year's program will address
a broad range of topics of interest
to investors, water managers,
attorneys, government officials,
public interest advocates, brokers,
irrigators, appraisers and
developers.

The 1987 faculty for this annual
conference has been drawn from
legal practice, government service,
the emerging water marketing
industry, the public interest sector
and the academy. They represent
a cross section of the leading
authorities on water reallocation and
its affect in the western states. In
response to requests from last year's
registrants, we have inctuded a
number of top water managers to the
faculty. With its depth and diversity,
the 1987 Conference offers a unique
opportunity for exposure to practical
suggestions and innovative ideas on
generating new policies, profits and
publiC interest protections
associated with water marketing.

As a national scope program,
this conference also represents a
chance for participants to meet
and exchange ideas with other
registrants and faculty who work
in various capacities with water
marketing and transfers. We have
designed the program so that
registrants can meet and exchange
ideas on a formal and informal basis
in order to create networks and
business opportunities.

Thursday's program will
consider two topical areas. The
morning will concentrate on Current
Market Activities and Issues,
including the latest pricing data and
barriers facing water transactions.
The afternoon session will focus on
Practical Perspectives, as perceived
by a range of professionals with
experience in water rights
transactions. Registrants will
have the opportunity to choose the
direction of the afternoon's program
through attendance at workshop
sessions. Discussion at these
portions of the program will
emphasize new approaches to water
marketing and to mitigating its
effects on third parties.

Friday morning's program,
The Expanding Role of Government,
opens with a keynote address by
James W. Ziglar, Assistant Secretary
for Water and Science, United States
Department of the Interior. Following
speeches on state and tribal
perspectives, registrants will have
another chance to customize the
program to their particular interests
through a variety of morning
workshops. The Conference closes
Friday afternoon with a panel of
experts taking A Look to the Future
of water marketing in the west. Take
a moment to examine the program
agenda that describes these
informative workshops and details
of the session s.
