1. Corporations cannot easily over-appropriate water; "playing-field" is leveled or equalized for competitors of all sizes.
2. Buy and sell water rights (open-marketplace).

Disadvantages:

1.  Property rights infringed upon, through the outside appropriating of water on another's private property (legally, that is).
2. "Use it or lose it" policy (discourages conservation)]]> 2020-10-02 15:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jsellen1/iex6r2kj62nahgi4/wish/798074341 Nanni Richardson, Miles Gill, Ezekiel Cramer, Devin Valen https://padlet.com/jsellen1/iex6r2kj62nahgi4/wish/798077294 Advantages:
You don't have to inherit it, it can be sold.

Water must be put to beneficial use.
Disadvantages:

One problem we noted was a senior water right being able to take away water even if its use is not as beneficial for the whole like a golf course.
One advantage we mentioned about having seniority is the ability to have more organized water rights through companies like Denver water controlling water over a large portions of individuals.]]> 2020-10-02 15:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jsellen1/iex6r2kj62nahgi4/wish/798078055 Devin R, Erikson H, Carter B, Ryan https://padlet.com/jsellen1/iex6r2kj62nahgi4/wish/798082184 Advantages:
Organizational system to spread water to everyone who needs it.

Disadvantages:
Organizational system can lead to the use by the wrong entity (Recreation > Agriculture) in the time of shortage ]]> 2020-10-02 15:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jsellen1/iex6r2kj62nahgi4/wish/798082184
