This review was conducted at the direction of the Joint Legislative Auditing Committee in response to a request from the House Select Committee on Water Policy. The review assessed whether state water policies contain sufficient economic incentives to assure the availability of an adequate supply of water for all reasonable and beneficial uses. The specific objectives were to determine whether state water policies are effective when water supplies are scarce and whether state water policies provide for use of economic principles in water allocations. The review also assessed policy options available for the Legislature's consideration for meeting increasing water demands. Although the basic concepts of Florida's water policies do not need to be changed, the policies do not provide sufficient economic incentives for developing alternative supplies and resolving serious conflicts. Improvements to existing water supply development and funding mechanisms are needed in order to achieve affordable and sustainable water supplies and protect the environment.
