Abstract

The results of a spatiotemporal investigation of water right transfer activity are presented. The data demonstrate a robust level of transfer activity over the period 1975-1995, and nearly unidirectional change in water use to higher-value uses. Whereas activity is locally focused and constrained in an upstream administrative area, it is more geographically and operationally diffuse in the administrative area containing the Albuquerque Metropolitan Area. A larger number of conservation district related transfers suggests that the forces of structural economic change are stronger there, and that it is more likely to experience third-party effects than other areas.
