3 water rights observations from the Eastern Snake River Plains

I’ve started working on my first project in the Eastern Snake River Plains and immediately made three observations I felt inclined to share:

1. Groundwater is exempt to priority–at least initially. The Eastern Snake River Plains is fighting a battle I previously recognized regarding groundwater’s potential exemption to priority.
2. This basin possesses all the characteristics that drives water markets.
3. Markets provide solutions to water problems, even in the Easter Snake River Plains.
