Litigation Support & Expert Witness Testimony

Client objectives are reflected in the project’s “paper” water requirements and may include:

• New appropriation
• Compliance with permit condition requiring offset
• Exchange for development rights from a municipality or utility
• Payback for over diversion
• Limited duration project (e.g. construction)
• Avoiding cutoff under priority administration
• Investment

The project’s water requirement is the quantity of “wet” water diversion, consumptive use or return flow needed by the client to sustain his endeavor.
