About the Water Strategist Community


 

Welcome to the Water Strategist Community. Please bookmark this site for frequently updated access to water news and information on what is happening in the water arena. We will keep you informed and provide a valuable resource.

Why Should You Visit this Site?
The internet has created a wealth of information readily available, but frankly, as a busy water professional you don't have the time to click on 250 or more sites a day to get that information. You need to know what is happening with the Bureau of Reclamation, Department of Interior, the Solicitor's Office, the State Department of Water Resources, the State Engineer's Office, Environmental Organizations, Attorney General Offices, Major Water Project Entities, and publicly traded water and wastewater firms. But when are you going to download all those press releases and sort the important from the uninteresting?

Well, you do not have to that--we will do it for you. Just bookmark www.waterchat.com and check in periodically for the water news selected by the Water Strategist Community team. Our team is comprised of the same people who have been bringing you Water Strategist, analysis of water marketing, finance, litigation, and legislation for the past 19 years.

How is the Water Strategist Community news different from the news from other water-related web sites? 
Most of the sites containing news have a data dump from another news vendor. Along with some water industry news, those sites provide datelines on the weather, and what is happening in Iraq. We read and sort the news to give you only water news for the western states and federal agencies affecting water policy. You get the eyes and judgment of the people who have been publishing Water Strategist for the past 19 years.

What news is posted on the Water Strategist Community?
We scan news releases from over 250 organizations dealing with water issues. You will see the pertinent news releases from the Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Senate Natural Resources Committee, Environment Protection Agency, US Fish and Wildlife, USDA, State Engineers' offices, State Attorney General's offices, Western Governors' offices, State Departments of Water Resources, American Rivers, Environmental Defense Fund, Sierra Club, Colorado River Boards, Central Arizona Project, Salt River Project, Texas Natural Resources Commission, Texas Water Board, Washington Department of Ecology, International Boundary and Water Commission...and many others.

 

How is the Water Strategist Community different from Water Strategist?
The news posted on Water Strategist Community (www.waterchat.com) is comprised of press releases and reprints from federal, state, and local agencies, corporations, and water organizations. It is what they release, verbatim. 

Water Strategist is a premium service where subscribers receive news stories written by the Water Strategist team based on policy drafts, background documents, and interviews conducted by our staff. WS is also the source for transactions data on water sales, leases and exchanges in the West. Water Strategist provides quarterly updates and annual reviews of transactions, litigation, municipal finance, and water stock market analysis.

The WS Community gives you the news; Water Strategist (www.waterstrategist.com) provides in-depth analysis on the news. One compliments the other.

If there is free access to Water Strategist Community, who pays for it?
The Community is funded through our sponsors, advertisers, partners, supporters and the WS Community Directory. 

Can any organization submit a press release to be published on the Water Strategist Community?
Yes, we will consider and review press releases sent to the publisher, Lisa Hahn.
