    Conference Paper
    Managing Competing Demands on a Scarce Natural Resource: Non-Market Allocation of Water in the Columbia River Basin
    (1990) Peters, Lon L.
    "The thesis of this paper is that our focus on coordination and planning has led to repeated failures to allocate water resources in the Columbia River Basin to their highest-valued uses, although there are limited examples of agencies beginning to rely on contractual understandings and trade-offs. These new understandings and the example of withdrawal rights exercized by irrigation districts can be expanded in the direction of market-based mechanisms."
