UWRL faculty member @WaterModeler has been studying the similarities between the Great Salt Lake and Lake Urmia in Iran, and what their similarities can teach us about how to better manage them both. usu.edu/today/story/what-usu…

Hey #deepuncertainty crowd: Do you have ideas for in-class activities on robust decision making/DMDU topics? I remember @SFletcherH2O had a thread some time ago, or maybe @jan_kwakkel, @EdmundoMolinaMx know?

Why not prioritize larger payments to farmers to invest in longer term water use reduction measures like level land, install pivots, switch to more valuable water wise crops? Buschatzke is right: we can't keep paying people to fallow. Fallowing also hurts farm communities.

“I don’t think we can get there purely voluntarily,” Buschatzke told CNN. “We can’t pay people forever to do this. It’s not a sustainable process to pay people forever for reductions.”

Intentionally Created Surplus (ICS) is a Lake Mead conservation account. Reduce use below 9 million acre-feet per year (historical allocations for CA, AZ, NV, and MX), store water in Lake Mead, and withdraw later. 4 issues with the ICS program today and 2 ways to address:

Recap 1: ICS was an innovative successful program. ICS addressed disincentives to conserve water under use-it-or-lose it. It saved 3 maf. Today, ICS may encourage more Lake Mead draw down as contractors try to recover conserved water before the program prohibits recovery.

Recap 2: Address these issues by converting ICS balances into accounts that track physical storage in Lake Mead rather than accounts that tally water conservation below historical allocations.
